Make schools expelling pupils for coloured hair and piercings illegal

What the petition asks
Many schools have discriminated against their pupils for having coloured hair and piercings in school. Expelling pupils for this stops pupils expressing themselves. The point is raised on equality and bullying, however many people have coloured hair now so it won't cause issues
We hope that the government will understand that self expression is important to teenagers and that by expelling pupils for this is harmful.
