You can't have any pudding if you don't eat your meat! (or wear Tiger socks)
The school stated in dress code packets distributed before the school year that students were to wear solid colored socks. The girl in question wore the Tigger socks and a jeans skirt that didn’t meet code requirements. The place to fight this was in school board meetings, not the class room.
Another example of litigation madness.
They don’t care - it is taxpayer money anyway. The way I see it - if making poor decisions would hurt their own pocketbook and career, then they might make better choices.
This lawsuit probably would not have happened in a private school? Maybe the govt should get out of education. They aren’t very good at it anyways...
It is completely retarded, that if I do send my kids to private school, that I don’t get to deduct that from my taxes. I do believe, that in Sweden, they finally allowed that, since their schools turned into bogus social experiments too.
Is this a public school? If so, then a dress code like that is completely uncalled for. I can understand restricting gang-related or obscene clothing, or saying something like ‘shirts must have sleeves and shorts/skirts must be below the fingertips’ for basic modesty.
Unfortunately in the bay area there are no adults in the education bureaucracy. The closest descriptor would be Stalinist.
The kids and parents were right on this one to hit them as hard as they could. The school was trying to manufacture proletariat and they got a group of patriot leaders.
Kids are always “pushing the envelope” trying to assert independence.
