Haven't there always been people who lived outside the margins, so to speak? Every generation has had their fair share - greasers, hippies, punks, etc? And there have always been people who found these looks objectionable. You can't effectively eliminate this tendency from our society and I'm not at all sure that it would be healthy....or desirable (personally speaking).
My daughter goes to school everyday, she learns, she made all-A honor roll. I am not so sure that the way a student looks (or how their fellow students look) affects the quality of either's education.

And, on that note, the whiz-kid in my algebra class is a young girl with hair the color of a strawberry margarita (this week). Doesn't seem to hold her back.
