Order to remove piercings sparks student outrage

If you go showing off your PA at school, the piercing itself will be the least of your worries :)

Piercings and tatoos? Those are cheap, superficial and optional. Let them try what I have if they want to try and be tribal and enjoy the pain of it.

I got a few screws in my left shin, and a steel rod with a ceramic ball-joint for a left femur.

And for that matter I used to have braces on my teeth, talk about pain?

"Wouldn't that be a god send for them as well as America, but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting though."

. . .no, if we did. . .it would surely make life easy for all those Libs out there!

It does amaze me to see Parents protesting against a decent dress code, complaining that their children should be allowed to express their individuality, that their creativity is being stifled, blah, blah et al.

Daresay, none of them have taken the time to know what their child is being taught; the drivel they must read that passes for Literature, or the one-mind-egalitarian-dumbed-down approach to their childs education that is now the public school norm.

No, they go on television and protest the piercings; the colored hair etc.

Pathetic. . .
