A schoolboy who was told off for dying his hair red tried to take revenge by posting a picture of his headteacher online - and has now been expelled.
Jordan Ford, 14, was instructed by teachers to change his hairstyle after he styled it into a red mohawk.
He took to Facebook and published a photograph of headteacher Keziah Featherstone in which she appears to have dyed hair, leading to other pupils abusing her via the internet.
Now he has been permanently excluded from the Bridge Learning Campus in Whitchurch, a suburb of Bristol, and reported to the police by his school.

I thought it was pretty funny to be honest, although he's a very naughty boy!
I can't believe he was reported to the police. Oh well, lots of people will see her photo now.

Damn right, her photo is awful!
What a disgrace.
The school staff are coming across as pretty humourless but the pupil forced their hand by taking it to a public forum.
Can't see how it can be malicious, the photo was already out there in cyberworld.
Both parents and children should respect a schools dress code. Its hard enough for teachers as it is where they seem to have ever shrinking numbers of ways they can discipline children without getting into trouble themselves. With what the child did, shown a total lack of respect to the schools dress code and head teacher on a very public level I don't feel the school had any option in the end.
Can't see how a pupil having different-coloured hair can somehow disrupt others.
Would he/she have magic hair?
By having that colour hair he is breaking the dress code. The school allowing it to continue would only encourage others to follow suit and soon enough none of the school rules would be followed.
Would it really be a bad thing if pupils were allowed to wear what they want, as long as the clothing was modest?
His dad isn't calling him a class clown because of his dyed hair. He's describing his general behaviour in school which has already led to two previous exclusions. Like I say, a disruptive c*nt.
Yes, because there will always be the few who take it too far.
Both of them, the head and the clown. But at least he has the excuse of youth and lack of experience. What's her excuse?
Why should he get expelled because other people trolled her? The picture he posted of her wasnt obscene or doctored to be so. She's made a mountain out of a mole hill.
another potentially misuse of the malicious communications act. scary stuff
Yup. More 'police making up internet rules as they go along'. It's both pathetic and scary.
And the kid's not that much better.
