    Didn’t match the image the school wanted to present at athletic events."

    Why US is so backwards? Why US schools are so focuced on athletic events and image?

      I think this sort of thing is unfortunately all too common in conservative older generations in many countries. In Japan there are occasionally students who naturally have brown hair instead of black, and to conform to the norm they’re forced to dye their hair in order to attend school.
