I remember in the late 60’s boys were not allowed to wear T-shirts to school. They had to wear button shirts.
School was not a casual place.
I’m still trying to figure out what that has to do with anything either. Seriously, when have jeans and a T-shirt caused anyone to stop learning or cause disruption in normal daily discourse?
Back in the 60’s I wasn’t even born, and in the 70’s Bill Cosby was still wearing sweaters. What’s that got to do with the price of tea in China? I could really care less what happened in the 60’s and what people were or weren’t “allowed” to wear in public screwels. The article is about the here and now, or at least the past decade or so, not 50 years ago! How are the 60’s relevant to anything other than drug culture, hippies and war protests? I’m only partly kidding on that last note (I know a lot of consequential and meaningful things occurred during the 60’s; however, it’s hardly a good example to bolster the author’s choice of things to rail against.
