The Supreme Court dismissed the woman's appeal in a trial seeking compensation from Osaka Prefecture for refusing to attend school because a woman attending a prefectural high school in Osaka was strongly instructed to dye her hair black. The ruling that "hair guidance is not illegal" has been finalized.
Five years ago, a woman who attended Kaifūkan High School in Habikino City, Osaka, claimed that she was forced to dye black from school even though her hair was brown by nature, and she refused to attend school. I have filed a lawsuit seeking compensation.
The Osaka District Court of the first instance said, "School rules prohibiting hair dyeing and bleaching are set for legitimate educational purposes and are within the discretion of the school. Hair guidance to restore the original color in case of violation is also illegal. I can't say that. "
On the other hand, the school will not be allowed to respond after the student is absent from school, such as removing the desk from the classroom or erasing the name from the seating plan or address book. I ordered.
The second trial, the Osaka High Court, made the same decision, so the woman appealed, but Hiroyuki Kanno, the judge of the Supreme Court's second small court, decided to dismiss by the 17th and decided that hair guidance was not illegal. The ruling was finalized.
