It looks like it a privately run, publicly funded school with an extremely strict dress code as one of its selling points.
For boys, jewelry, hats, facial hair, makeup, and hair dye are all disallowed. Uniforms must be worn, with the except of jeans one day a month, and hair must be above the ear, out of the eyes, and over the collar.
There is even a separate dress uniform that must be worn on assembly days.
For girls, hair must be its natural color, hair accessories must be a single solid color and cannot make any noise, makeup cannot be worn until 6th grade and cannot be noticeable if 10th grade or lower, and no jewelry, hats, open-toed sandals, or heels greater than 1".
There are many more rules for clothing (e.g. no hoodies or jackets with front pockets).
There once was a time when some unimportant rules were enforced on a case by case basis, this is on of those cases. When you have educators and administrators blindly enforcing such rules, it frees them from having to use somethings they're sorely lacking, decision making ability and common sense.

Yes, and that is where all of these companies, schools, etc. got into trouble with discrimination lawsuits and such...doesn't mean the above practice was a good thing....oh, you are black, we don't like you, good-bye.
I don't agree with zero-tolerance policies when they aren't applied with some common sense, like the boy that was suspended several years ago because a butter knife fell out of a box into his truck bed but in this case, the school has a dress code and that code also talks about hair length. He chose to ignore that and is now facing the penalty. It might get the school to rethink the code, maybe, but for now, that is the rule at the school. Part of living in a civilized society is that you have rules to follow and consequences for not following those rules. Some rules are outdated and acts of civil disobedience often changes those rules, but it still doesn't mean that there should not be consequences for breaking those rules.
