I hadn’t remembered until I thought about your comment about it being “an unusual rule”, but now I believe that I was subconsciously remembering my time at Montreal’s Expo ’67.
The rules for the uniform included a stipulation that hair must be trimmed short enough that it would not reach the shoulders; just wearing longer hair in a style that kept it above the shoulders was not an acceptable option. However, one guide was a ballerina, and she needed her waist-long hair for that profession. Apparently there was a long discussion at upper echelons, but I do know that a decision was reached that made an exception for her: she could keep the long hair, but it must always be worn up, so its length would be hidden.
I support this compromise! Using nudity as workarounds for weird clothing requirements is a great way to encourage body positivity!
I mean, technically she doesn’t have any hair growing below her neck. It just hangs that low. Nice way to show compliance.
Seems to be an unusual rule about hair but nice to see the school and parents came to a sensible compromise. Also great to see she is barefoot too.
