Japanese lawyers have asked an elite boys’ high school in Osaka to reconsider its practice of trimming the hair of students to conform to rules, after some students demanded a rule change while claiming human rights violations, Japanese media reported.
The checks had drawn the ire of some students who said the rules were not fairly enforced and approached the Osaka bar for legal advice in April 2022.A bar association committee conducted interviews with students and school employees, and found that some students were singled out for discipline despite having similar hairstyles as others who passed the inspection. Complaints about teachers forcibly cutting the hair of non-compliant students were also confirmed.
Seifu Gakuen said: “We will take the advisory seriously and would like to consider how to respond sincerely.” A barber at Oita Hair Salon said many Seifu Gakuen students would patronise his outlet before a hair check.
