Do I have a word with the teacher dilemma

Hi, ok so DD's school is a nightmare for nits.... I regularly comb through her hair, every other day in fact with conditioner. I have tried everything else, chemical treatments, natural treatment, tea tree oil, lemon juice, white wine vinegar but to no avail.
Anyway she came home from school the other day and said that her teacher had pulled her out of class and told her she had seen a louse in her hair and had tried to get it out of her hair. When my dd went back into class all the other kids were saying " oooo what did you get told off about". Now I was under the impression that no teacher is permitted to single out a child like that, that if it was noticed a child had nits that they had to send a letter to the whole school. Something about it being against their human rights etc etc but I also thought that a teacher shouldn't be trying to get the lice out of my dd's hair. All she had to do was mention it to me if she really wanted to.
Am I right in thinking she was in the wrong ?
I would like to go in and speak to the school but want to get my facts straight first !

My DS and I wrote a song together about Nits last year and performed it to his friends. I accompanied him on the guitar and they thought it was hilarious.
