Everything can potentially be a distraction to those who choose to be distracted, including blonde hair. Are we going to ban that? Seriously, how far are we going to go in regulating someone's behavior?

I don't believe we're regulating anyone's behavior by stating certain slogans on shorts are not appropriate for school. We're not saying they can't believe what they believe, just that it isn't appropriate in some instances. "Anytime, anyplace" leads to total chaos. There have to be some limits to things. Otherwise, where do we draw the line? Can kids wear shirts with pictures of dead fetuses on them? With pictures of dead soldiers so as to protest the war? Would that be all right with you? With slogans insulting every known religion? How about with personal attacks on other students? If we allow one, we have to allow all, by the logic of some in here. The easiest and most equitable way to stop the insanity is to regulate the uniform for school.
