NOTE: The sources present some variation on the time-frame that Isabella was able to attend school with blue hair, which is mentioned in the text. Some other information, such as how long Isabella was given to consider her options seem to vary as well, which could be due to her being given two different time-frames in two different occasions. The situation was summarized below to the best of the author's ability, with the existing information.
Short Summary: Isabella Diamantino (16 years old at the time) was prevented from attending classes at her private school because she (according to some sources, together with a friend who studied at the same school) dyed her hair blue the month before. Guilherme Diamantino (her father, who is also a lawyer) explains that his daughter called him from school, crying, and told him she had been removed from school. Another one of her friends was also prevented from attending classes because she shaved part of her head. Guilherme Diamantino explains that the choices given to Isabella were to either change her hair color to one more "compatible with the school code" or to choose another school entirely. She was given a day for that decision. According to Guilherme Diamantino, he was never contacted by the school about the situation, and he needed to initiate contact. After later contact, it seemed that the director had agreed upon giving the family some more time (a week according to some sources), so Isabella could make a decision on either changing her hair color or find another school, but then reversed course about that agreement and Isabella was expelled before the agreed-upon deadline. He was told at some point that the director of the school was travelling and had left orders for Isabella to be prevented from attending classes. The school code mentions that the student's hair needs to "fit rational normality". Guilherme explains that the family was never informed about these regulations and had to look for the school code themselves. Sources vary on the amount of time that Isabella had attented school with blue hair before this whole situation, with the time-frame varying from two weeks to up to a month, but all sources agree that the student had attented school for a while before her hair was considered a problem.
