If you read the entire article I believe the school was correct. They set their DEFINITION of business attire (perhaps they should not have used that phrase though). The students in question, for whatever reason, chose to violate the dress code. What you have here is a well dressed smart ass.
Here is the code:
“Golden Gate High approved a professional dress code for students last year, making it the first high school in Collier County to do so. Under the policy, students are required to wear collared or polo shirts that must be tucked in. The shirts must be in a solid color of white, gray, green, pink or khaki. The shirts must be 3 inches below the waist, which is school board policy.
“Students are allowed to wear long pants, walking shorts, skirts or dresses in black, khaki or denim fabric. Belts are required.
Presumably, he was wearing a collared shirt and long trousers as stated in the code. There is nothing to prohibit jackets and ties that I can see.
The kids DID wear business attire. Since when were polo shirts business attire?
“What you have here is a well dressed smart ass”
Yeah, he reminds me of Benjamin Franklin another of our country’s smart asses.
In case you didn’t figure it out, I love smart asses. They balance out the sheeple and help keep us free.
Question Authority.
Clearly. This is classical smart ass behavior -- to use the letter of the law against the spirit of the law and then pretend you were being sincere about it. It's 100% Eddie Haskel. A part of me appreciates their smart ass attitude, though. But they blew it by whining about the consequences. If you're going to be a smart ass, at least keep your composure when The Man puts you back in your place.
Administered by so-so dressed dumbasses?
Does the concept of "minimum requirement" mean anything to you?
Once the definition of "business attire" becomes subjective (on the administrator's part) arbitrary and capricious" comes to mind.
or other labels that might suspend my posting privileges...
Just saying.
