School forced girl to change hair color A 16-year-old girl with chestnut-colored hair filed a damages suit April 8, claiming she was forced to drop out of a Miyagi prefectural high school after a teacher sprayed her with a dye to make her hair black. In the suit filed with the Sendai District Court, she is demanding that the prefectural government pay her ¥5.5 million in compensation. After entering Zao High School in April last year, she was repeatedly told by the teacher to dye her hair black. The teacher sprayed her with dye in November and eventually suggested she should drop out, according to the complaint. The girl is scheduled to attend another high school this month, outside Miyagi Prefecture. Shoji Hidetoshi, the assistant principal of the high school, said, "We recognize that the teacher reacted excessively, but we didn't force her to drop out."
