Let me ask you this. What boundaries or guidelines should we have? I would agree with the idea that the last thing we need to see here are lawsuits over gay rights and all that crap.
However, what is wrong with having certain minimal standards? When these kids get out in the world, they will be working and have to comply with dress codes at work. They will have all sorts of restrictions on their “freedoms” as defined by liberals. You don’t have unlimited rights to “self expression” and all that. None of us do.
All of us, including liberals, have to do certain things to conform to guidelines set by our employers, schools, and society at large. The real question, in my opinion, is where do we draw the lines.
If we keep going the way we are with “gay” rights....employers will also be sued....and charged with discrimination when some transgendered, bisexual, whatever who dresses weirdly wants to be the teacher in a 3rd grade classroom...
Way back in the puritan days of the 1980s when I was in school, shorts were out of the question. If girls wore skirts they had to be knee length.
When the class of 1980 has shirts printed up that said “Kick ass class” they weren’t allowed to wear them in school.
I'm with you 100 percent. The school administrators should be smart enough to have the students wear uniforms. They were not that smart. They are just highly paid. Now they have walked the school into a lawsuit.
If it is not in writing in the manual, then they can't send him home. Perhaps it is in writing. In the private sector it would be clearly spelled out. Anyone know if this school had such a written policy?
