The three St Margaret's Secondary School students had cut their hair to raise funds for a cancer charity.
But this drew the ire of their principal, as they had not donned wigs, as they had promised earlier.
This is the weirdest thing to hear, and it makes me wonder if my school had weird and arbitrary rules. I do remember some conflict between my principle and some art students over a picture of a male friend was dressed rather femme. Sometimes you wonder if school is partially just a long exercise in authoritative conditioning.The school's rules do not allow "punk, unfeminine or sloppy hairstyles". Said principal Marion Tan: "It's very clear in our mission: it's about their turnout as a young lady."
Hah! Ladies don't go bald. Ladies don't vote! Ladies don't get non-secretary jobs! It's apparently 1954. Where are my Chattertons?
Time to start walking around school chanting, "Remember, remember the fifth of November..." EDIT: added the reference just in case
