All girl students with long hair expelled from class

Girl students with hairstyles that headteachers believed were too long, were expelled from class at a middle school in Guangzhou, the Southern Metropolitan News reported Wednesday.

These students had to go and have their hair cut during school time in order to get back to class.

A female student told the paper she was having breakfast when the teacher in charge of her grade saw her and said, “Is there fireworks on your head? It’s so ugly!”

In total, more than a hundred girls were told to leave school and shorten their hair that day.

“I hate hearing headteachers say short hair looks active and is good for studies,” a girl said. In her point of view, a simple pigtail wouldn’t take a long time to do up.

Some students doubted why their teachers kept long and wavy hair since they employed such strict rules on students.

A teacher at the headmaster’s office told the paper on the phone that “every school has its own regulations.”

Authorities at local education bureau said they had no specific rule on length of students’ hair, and “the ‘Daily Behavior Norms for Middle School Students’ is there for them to follow.”

This is not understood that why should sutdents have to make their hair shorter. Unlike EU contries. This is kind of punishment towards students. Unfair system and should be ignored by students. I am very for them who cannot follow any fashionas.

I abhor short hair on women. I abhor the practice of women fashioning themselves after men or forcing them to do so. That includes short hair for women as well as women in trousers. I am against forcing short hairstyle on female students, clients, or employees, and I am also against forcing them to wear trousers. Long hair is the only way to go for females. Super long hair is very popular in China. I am growing tired of destruction and persecution of femininity.
