I wasn't going to comment on this one, but I decided to give it a go. A couple of thoughts warrant commenting.
1.) I am not saying your son is a gang member, but in schools where gang issues area problems, any means of altering your body to mold into a specific image can be a real concern. (hair coloring, tattoos, etc.) We don't need any more violence in our schools. The safety of students MUST be the number one concern of a school. If students don't feel safe, they will not be in a position to maximize their educational experience.
2.) Chances are this boy just plain wants to know where the boundaries are. I've seen it many times. Students will push right to the limit, trying to find the boundaries, and they want someone to draw the line and say this is it. We don't allow this, this is the reason why, now correct the problem and we can go on with what our jobs are. In school it is teaching from the teachers and learning from the students.
3.) Has your son been taught from day one that learning and education are a privilege, not necessarily a right. Although there are government regulations stating children must be educated, my parents taught me from day one that my education was my responsibility, and what I choose to do with it was my decision. However, if there was an issue that arose where I was not making responsible decisions, I knew my dad would listen to the teacher first, me second, and then inform me as to what was going to happen to correct my thinking that had opposed the teacher. Looking back, he and the teacher always sided together, and I have since realized they were always right. I am so thankful that I had a parent(s) who would set limits and demonstrate respect for authority and education.
4.) Old, go and sit down and have a conversation with the school administrator. Find out what the concerns are from the school, voice your opinion, and I do believe if you have an open mind you will see where the school has it's valid concerns. Why not comply with the school's wishes while your son is at school, and allow him to have his hair colored during the summer months and Christmas breaks, etc. when he is at home and away from the school setting.
