So now what’s going to happen? Are we going to call into question any sort of dress code at all??? Are we going to say that any dress code or regulations somehow violate the civil rights of these kids??? Is there a constitutional right to go to school nude??? Or wear beachwear, underwear, whatever???

I’ve heard ROP be shorthand for Religion of Peace, meaning Islam.

Spandex is a privilege, not a right.

Skinny jeans are an easy way to identify Hipsters and Poofters. I say let them wear them.

I always found it funny that the groups that like to distinguish themselves as individualists all wear the same getup.
