[QUOTE="zcruse, post: 2420630, member: 10893"] For the most part I have no problem with the school banning this attire. Far too many kids these days dress in a manner that is disrespectful to themselves. Dress codes can help curb some of this at least while theyre in class. However, I think much of the issue here was not the dress code so much as the lack of consistency with its application and perhaps using a little common sense. If its true that these have been allowed in the past and there was no notice of a rule change then it would be confusing to someone at the age we're considering. I know back when I was in school there were instances of technical DC violations that the school actually brought far more attention to than was necessary. One memorable event involved a young man who went on to be a class valedictorian. He was wearing a t-shirt from the horse show that he'd recently won. One of the sponsors on the back (not one of the large overly visible ones) was Coors, who happens to make a lot more stuff than just beer. Anyway some jock pointed it out to a teacher and they made him turn the shirt inside out and wear it that way for the rest of the day. [/QUOTE]
