can you help?

This is not an event, sorry, but I am trying to get as many people aware of my situation as possible.I live in Auburn, CA.I have been sent to a school where I was told I could NOT have dreadlocks because of a rule mentioning that no one was to arrange their hair in a way that would advocate drug use.They drug test the students there, and I have stayed clean. I stopped smoking weed for this school, but I am going to fight the dreads issue.As you know, dreadlocks absolutely DO NOT advocate drug use, and people had dreads way before the hippies came along. Dreadlocks do NOT represent drug use and I am shocked that they can get away with something so outrageous. I believe they have no right to do this, and one girl alone fighting against a court's prejudices against dreads may be ignored, but if I can bring this to people's attention and hopefully get some help, I believe I can win this war. Thank you for your time.
