Pink-haired student invited back to school.

A school that barred a sixth grader after she dyed her hair pink with her parents' blessing to celebrate her good grades lifted its ban on Tuesday following an outcry from
civil rights advocates.
After missing three days of classes, pink-haired Brianna Moore headed back to Shue-Medill Middle School in Newark, Delaware, on
Tuesday after administrators reversed their
decision after a call from the Delaware
branch of the American Civil Liberties Union
(ACLU).
"We're on our way right now," said Kevin
Moore as he drove his 12-year-old daughter
to school.
At his daughter's request last week, he
helped dye her hair a shade called crimson
storm, which has a pink hue, as a reward
for improving her grades.
But when she showed up for school the
next day, she was sent home and told not to
return until her hair met school policy
mandating a "natural color, brown, blond,
black, natural red/auburn."
The ACLU soon got in touch with attorneys
for the school district and asked, "Don't you
think this is unconstitutional?" said Kathleen
MacRae, ACLU executive director in Delaware.
Moore was invited back to school with
assurances she would not be punished, said
Wendy Lapham, school district
spokeswoman.
"The hair is not going to be an issue,"
Lapham said.
