UK school micro managing pupils lives for no good reason

According to the BBC a UK school bans a girl for getting hair braids. What is it with UK schools and their fascist obsession with controlling students and the way they dress?

After near 5 years in this country I still don't get why this country has such an obsession with turning school children into sheep with no ability of independent expression.
