Skimpy Clothes Banned; What Will Students Wear?

MODESTO, Calif. -- Midriff-baring shirts, low-rise pants, pajamas and slippers will all be off limits this fall for thousands of student in Modesto. So, what will students wear?

Several students that KCRA-TV in Sacramento talked with said they don't know what they will wear when the new dress code rules go into effect because almost everything in their closet does not comply with the dress code. Violating the dress code can draw a suspension.

"I think it is ridiculous. Everywhere you shop, there is nothing to get," said student Ashley Taylor.

Student Alexis Thompson said the new school rules will wipe out her current wardrobe.

"I will probably have to buy all new clothing for next year. It is going to be hard because pretty much all the stores sell lingerie," Thompson said.

And it's not just the girls who will have to dress more conservative. Mike Tershler, a senior at Davis High School, said he likes to show off his boxers, which peak over his pants -- a look that is banned for next year.

"I think I look good, pretty sexy. The ladies like it," Tershler said.

Principal Jeff Albritton is prepared to enforce the dress code in the fall. He said it is a matter of prioritizing education.

"The focus of school has to be business. And this is a distraction that keeps kids minds on what they are here for," Albritton said.

But not all students are against the ban.

"I agree with most of the things because I don't want to see a bunch of skin showing because that is not very classy," said student Kathleen Swicegood. "And we are in an environment where we are supposed to be sort of business like. We are trying to grow up."

Clothing business Anchor Blue has some skin-baring clothes, but the store manager said the key is dressing it up for school.

Students have a big incentive to comply with the new dress code. They will get one warning. After that, they will be suspended

Yeah, it's a real bummer when the batteries die at the wrong time.

which peak over his pants --

This shows the danger of spell check. 'Peak' is the proper spelling of a word, but the writer mis-spelled the word he intended to use. It's PEEK, you fool!!

Not true. There are other choices, few, I'll grant you, looking at the clothing at the mall stores, but the girls don't think those are cool enough.

And you are right, journalists shouldn't rely on spellcheck, or atleast, they should proof-read before publishing.

What about FR posters?

If the word 'peek' was miss-spelt in the first place, Spell Check return the first viable option as 'peak', and 'peek' next. If the author of the article chose auto-spelling, it would choose 'peak' over 'peek'.

That only points out the IQ deficiencies of the 'ladies' at the school.

Probably going to be a senior again next year.

Our school district started with uniforms in 6th grade last year and that class will continue wearing uniforms through their high school years. Fine by me.

Actually this could be some of the best evidence available to Darwinian theorists....

In Viet Nam in government school kids wear uniforms, also, white shirts and blue pants, boys and girls. In some of the Catholic high schools the girls wear the traditional white ao dai, a uniform that bares no skin except the hands and face but can screw up a boy's concentration terribly.

Check your Sunday supplements and look at the kind of dress fashion young teens and women are wearing today. The majority of these designs are slutty and shout "prostitute." Off the shoulder tops, skirts with side slit up above the thigh and of course, the all favorites...the midriff or below the hip look. It shouts "trailer trash" and the Targets, K-Marts and J.C. Pennys, et al. all need to get a clue. No wonder kids are being molested....look at the way they dress...
