So if evrything is equal and about attention and saftey, we should all wear uniforms and shave our heads.

If someone wants to wear those things, I'm certainly not going to try to stop them, but I would indeed be unnerved by it.

I have expressed my point already. While I don't like certain things and don't think anyone should wear it, I'm not going to stop them or try to stop them because it is their choice to wear it.

I agree you can dislike something, I was inquiring this entire time about your willingness to allow school admins to disallow what they dislike?

Okay, I see the edits now…..:p

I clearly marked what I edited. Even so, my posts not once indicated that school administrators should ban something just because they don't like it.

Adam, I feel the same way about stupid saggin' pants. School is supposed to prepare you for life and in life, fair or not, the fact is that nobody is going to hire your stupid ass for anything other than a job at McDonald's if you can't even pull up your fucking pants. Doesn't matter if you have a 1600 on your SATs and a doctorate in physics, ppl will still take one look at your underwear and show you the door. Call it unfair, call it discriminatory, call it whatever, and you're probably right. That still doesn't change the reality of it. Bitch and moan until Hell freezes over, it still won't change reality.

As for the hot topic pants…. I think they're pretty cool, but yeah, I can see how those chains could be easily removed and used as weapons. Of course, if someone wearing those pants gets in a fight, they'd better remove the damn chain. All that extra weight and things dangling around you impairs your agility and makes you LESS able to defend yourself. Even loose fitting clothes are not good in a fight. You'll end up getting your ass handed to you after you trip over a chain and fall on your face But, again, they do LOOK cool.

Adam, every school has exceptions for medical reasons. That was kinda my piont

What about a store specializing in those kinds of clothes?

I understand in situations like Zach mentioned earlier with gang symbolism (and colors).

Our school eliminated their dress code policies for this school year. It's disgusting to see chicks wandering around with their ass hanging out of their skirts or about to pop out of their low-cut shirts. It's distracting, it's disgusting, and it takes away from most's learning experience.

But it THEIR CHOICE to let their saggy ass drag and their shitty boobs bounce. We should NOT regulate that.[quote]As an educational institution they definitely SHOULD.[quote]Gangs are also not enitrely bad. Thats just a generalization like the one about teens being immature. Gangs can be places where outcasts gain acceptence or beleive it or not, they can KEEP kids out of trouble. You shouldn't generalize like that.

Um, hi? Go to a LA high school wearing the wrong color. They ban red and blue because people get shot over it. They don't want people getting shot at school. Seems perfectly logical to me.

Hate does not HAVE to be. We don't NEED to regulate evrything BECAUSE of generalizations. By your opinion, its RIGHT to dicriminate against YOUTH because SOME are as bad as they say we are

There have been plenty of examples of "grown-up" life involving dress codes. Your point is moot.
