A teenager is suing her local government for ¥2.2 million Yen ($19,000) for forcing her to dye her hair black because "dark brown isn't dark enough". She has suffered a rash, and scalp pain from having to dye her hair so often. She had attended Kaifukan High School, which demands that all students have black hair. During a conversation that the Japanese Times had with the mother of the child, she said " The school would even demand a blond foreign exchange studens would have to dye their hair because it was the rule."
WHAT!? Forcing a child to dye their hair, with an allergy? That sounds like a death sentence.
Forcing children to dye their hair sounds like forcing them to eat pesticide. Or making them drink baby formula with melamine in it, wasn't that China, not Japan?
Maybe the government in Japan needs to read my blog to realize that they are forcibly exposing these kids to very harsh chemicals that they themselves wouldn't want to be around.
In fact, if the family gets wind of this, email me. I would be happy to help them in any way that I can.
