Here's your case, 1972 Massie v. Harris from the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals (Federal). The following is an excert from the ACLU's position on the matter and a more recent case upholding a students rights:
The issue of student suspensions over hair color is not new to the ACLU. Three years ago the ACLU of Virginia represented Surry County High School student Kent McNew after he was suspended for coloring his hair blue. That case went to court in Richmond, where a federal district judge ordered the school to reinstate McNew and to pay the ACLU's lawyers $25,000 in legal fees.
The district court's decision in McNew's case was based on a 1972 Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling, Massie v. Henry, holding that students have a "right to wear their hair as they wish as an aspect of the right to be secure in one's person guaranteed by the due process clause." In 1999, the ACLU also represented a Chesterfield County Middle School student who was ordered to leave school because her hair was colored pink. That case never made it to court, as the school immediately reinstated the student once the ACLU intervened.
