It's also no reason for him to think the dress code does not apply to him.
“It’s also no reason for him to think the dress code does not apply to him.”
I don’t think anything he did indicates he thinks it does not apply to him. The article quotes him as being disappointed with the school. He also said he grabbed the wrong shirt by mistake. He was not trying to break the rules or ignore them.
His father also pointed out how the school policy is not the “standard county uniform”. He thinks it is set by the whim of the principle.
The uniform rule was also recently implemented.
I worked for a school district for several years. I have seen first-hand students being treated like criminals for minor issues and mistakes like this boy made. It appears that is why the boy and his father are unhappy with what happened.
But, again, not really newsworthy. At least not beyond the local community.
