No the kid was.
where you had to have this Dobie Gillis (look it up) type look
I remember Dobie Gillis and Maynard G Krebbs. LOL
The school set them and if you want to participate in a sport that required you to adhere to them then you have no complaints.
50 years ago his parents would have told him to comply or shut up.
Sorry, my bad. Re-read your post re: liberal whining. I guess that Dobie Gillis thing dated me but I remember the show when I was a kid. Everyone at school tried to emulate him. I even had a plaid shirt and a white sweater. LOL!
PS - our bad was wearing jeans to school.
“50 years ago his parents would have told him to comply or shut up.”
YEAH! And we could also do separate but equal too! We have to put up with so much freedom today. I still want someone to explain to me why a kids hair is the governments business unless it’s filled with lice. All i pretty much hear is that it pleases the grandmas and geezers, there in the bleachers.
When I was in high school the dress codes were such that people would have heart attacks and brain anyurisms just to think about them.
And they were much more lenient that the decades previously.
Dress codes are good because they keep the little beasts modestly dressed. I remember driving by high school kids in the 80s and the girls looked no different than the prostitutes on Hotel Street.
