I would like to see the wording of the dress code provision he supposedly violated. Does it say no bolo ties? Does it require how wide the tie has to be? Or did someone just make the arbitrary decision that a bolo tie isn't a real tie? After seeing his picture (dignified) I am on the studant's side on this one.
From the article linked in #41:
"In March, Benya's school sent a letter to parents and seniors explaining that adherence to the dress code is mandatory, with the word ''mandatory" in bold and underlined. For girls: white dresses or skirts with white blouses. For boys: dark dress pants with white dress shirts and ties."
It just says 'tie'.
Seems to me he should have been allowed to wear a bolo "TIE'.
It slso mentions in the article that some girls were allowed to wear long pants and headscarves for religious reasons (Muslim?). So they were making exceptions for some people.
