Well, heck – that was always the rule when I was in school! Right! This is a crazy story, ya’ll:

And I understand that the student was actually trying to challenge the school on their rules. And I could see the ‘all black’ rule if that was related to gang activity. But – no political t-shirts in school? What the hell are we teaching these kids? So this is what their government class sounds like:

“Ok, kids, today we’re going to talk about the presidential elections, but, first let’s shut the door. The first rule about government class is that you don’t talk about government class.”

Haha!

And it is funny, because, it reminds me of a day I ‘challenged’ the dress code when I was in high school. I had these shorts, that were almost a skirt (very blousy/billowy – I don’t know what you call that) and they were really long, practically to my knees. And I had always worn them to school. And no one had ever said a thing to me about them. And then one day, some staff member decided that they didn’t like them and sent me to the office. Ugh.

And as my parents both worked, and I didn’t have a car, I was sent to walk home and change. Which I did. Heehee. I changed into my favorite miniskirt – which was way shorter than those darn ‘shorts’!! And to make it even sweeter – I put on my roller skates and my walkman and roller skated back to school! Ha! I remember what …oh damn. I usually always remember what song was playing on my walkman. Now that I want to tell you what it was, it leaked out my ear and won’t come back! Doesn’t that figure?

I’ll come back and tell you when my brain stops teasing me like this. (I knew the song as I started this post…nuts, I tell you, just nuts.)

Let me tell you, though, I spent the rest of that school day in SMUG heaven!!

It will be interesting to see what comes of this young man’s case.
