It's not illegal. Secondary vocational schools are no longer compulsory schools, and most students are over 16 years old, so management should be standardized. The school has school rules and regulations, and students who violate the school rules can be punished, expelled or expelled. After graduating from junior high school, the compulsory education stage is over. If studying in a school after that violates the rules and regulations of the school, the school can punish students or let them drop out of school.

Legal analysis

There is no legal guarantee for schools to force students to cut their hair. You can report to the school. The right of personal freedom refers to the right of citizens to move within the scope of law, not to be interfered by others, not to be illegally arrested and detained, illegally deprived, restricted and searched. Personal freedom is inviolable, which is the minimum and most basic right of citizens and the premise for citizens to participate in various social activities and enjoy other rights. Hair is a part of the human body, which is dominated and controlled by citizens themselves. In civil cases, it has caused mental damage to students, and you can ask the school to pay compensation for mental damage. In criminal cases, it depends on what the consequences are, what the teacher's motivation is, and whether the influence is bad. Simply cutting hair casually from what the parties say does not constitute an infringement of personal freedom. You can ask the school to punish the teacher, you can ask the school to compensate the students, and you can also ask the police station to punish the teacher.
