In the News – Retired Teacher Sues to Make Baldness a Disability

Snippet from the article:

Mr Campbell, 61, a former teacher at Denny High School, Stirlingshire, endured repeated taunts from pupils over his hair loss. Such was the extent of the harassment that it affected his day-to-day activities, he said.

The now retired teacher took his local authority employer to a tribunal, claiming he was a victim of disability discrimination because he was bald.

But yesterday his case was thrown out, after the tribunal judge ruled that baldness was not a disability.
