Exactly! It seems the public schools want to take out individuality at an early age.
And then there are exceptions... if you are gay or trans-gender -- that is perfectly acceptable and must be celebrated. If you are conservative and Christian -- you must be a hateful person with a closed mind...
And with the schools worrying about nonsense like this, is it any wonder why our little pupils are falling behind the world?
>>It seems like the principal wants to include tastefulness and stylishness into her definition of grooming<<
Honestly, yes. This is a charter school. They demand and can, because if you don’t like it, you can leave.
My daughter was in a charter here in MI. The dress code was allowed to slip. Suddenly, different colors of hair and ultra short tops became standard. Then a big talk was had with the parents. A reminder that they have a dress code and what was expected or the children would be suspended. My daughter had blue shoes and I shoe polished them black at that point. I wanted her there. Parents were drive 20 minutes every morning to get their kids in that school. They made the rules and if you wanted your kid to get a decent education, you stuck by them.
Yes, because we all know how important it is to express one's individuality through one's dress and body modifications.
Actually, that's kind of the definition of superficial.
