BOWLING GREEN: An Ohio seventh grader is feeling blue after she was banned from school for putting red highlights in her hair.
Officials at Bowling Green Junior High say Angelica Hummel must dye her hair back, because the school's dress code prohibits hairstyles that bring undue attention or make the wearer conspicuous.
The 13-year-old says she doesn't like being stuck at home and wants to return to school.
But she says her punishment is unfair, because other students have highlights, too.
Parents Mike and Michelle Hummel say the school is splitting hairs, and they support their daughter's decision to keep the red coloring.
Bowling Green Area Schools Superintendent Hugh Caumartin is siding with the school, saying the dress code cuts down on distractions.
