27 years ago when I was in high school we had one guy who wore camo every day . . . .with a swastika armband . . . . .and whispered (rather than use full voice) for 2 months. He also had a hitlist (he claimed) of 10 or 12 people he was going to eliminate . . . .
Funny how no one ever said a thing about him, or sent him home , or made him seek treatment . . . .

Like the article said, this isn't about the military, this is about gang colors. Even though the connection to gangs seems to be tenuous at best, I believe it is the schools right and responsibility to have rules and enforce them. Kids do not have the right to wear whatever they want to school. If it is disruptive (like the penis costume last month), it shouldn't be allowed.

Banning camo is a liberal political act, intended to disparage and marginalize the military.

Her mother's defense is that everyone was wearing it. Perhaps the mother is an inner teen too.

Neal Boortz has the right solution.
Change your lifestyle and financials.
Home school or enroll your kids in private school.
Blueflag's adaptation -- teach your kids to be fully aware of what public schools are doing and why -- what's right and wrong about it; how to deal with it; what to fight/accept -- battles and wars. My kids are remarkably aware of what "PC" is, why bureaucrats are 'cowards'. It's another part of being in the world, and not of the world. They realize that the idiocy of school PC policy enforcement pales in the shadow of corporate EEOC/diversity policies.

The camo this chick is wearing is a hip-hop style popularized by various celebrities. It doesn't have much to do with the military.

Lemme guess. He's now a congressman.I lost track of him (thank heaven) but I'd know if he was a congressman - he's not.
But at the age of 18 he DID get elected to the School Board in the same town!
Go figure.

But schools have the right to set policy, whatever that may be. If a parent disagrees with a policy, the appropriate action is for the parent to talk to the school before having an escalation.

Lowell High Headmaster Bill Samaras said military gear is associated with some local gangs This is rather vague. If gangs were doing precisely what she was doing in order to scream "gang," her garb would not be wise. But from this description we can't tell.
To: cloud8
A lot of school officials wear suits. Suits associated with gangsters. Ban the school officials.

I'm with the scholl on this. They have a right, if not
a duty to have an acceptable dress code for schools
that teach minors. A Schools' first priorty is
to maintain a proper and safe enviornment for
educating their charges. And it is every students
first responsability to comport themselves in a
civil and acceptable manner, abd be open to
instruction.

I think she looks great, said her mother, Bette Lewis, who bought her the outfit. She always looks nice. She always matches everything. Egads mother!!!
Mixing deep forest camo with urban city camo...yikes!!!
Get thee to a fashion makeover.... ;)

Poor girl, spending her life with a name like "Shilo." No wonder she's a tacky dresser.
