I'm assuming they're talking about pants that sag halfway down.. in that case I think I'd need a belt. They had weird rules at my school too. A friend of mine had an old Colt 45 shirt that he got because it had Lando Calrissian on the front and they confiscated it. I wore the same shirt almost every day and it said "Millions of Dead Cops" and they never said anything (!?)

They introduced those rules to my high school eventually. I can't really fault them for it. Kids were getting shot.
I always wished we had school uniforms.

My school had a uniform but those rascal kids still broke the dress cose with their loud shoes and hair.

Kevin Bacon's foot finally got loose.

it's called a public school I think. Goodbye arts, hello clean shaven teenagers.

I'll never stop being glad that I'm just old enough to have missed 21st century public school.

It's not just Texas that does this either. I had acquaintances in a neighboring high school in Oklahoma, and you weren't allowed to have any facial hair at all.

Enforcements like that always seemed strange to me I suppose because I grew up in the Los Angeles Unified School District where there were kids who were literally too poor to afford the shit required to shave with/had parents that just didn't give two shits. There would have been no possible way to enforce that kind of thing unless the schools provided all of it.

Ain't that the truth, Zirc.

I met a boy at a Christmas party who was going to my old school. I shocked him by mentioning that when I was there, it had a smoking lounge for the students. Now they have a panopticon. This is not an advancement.

Public School sucked for me in the 20th century too. The city's not super huge but the school I was closest to continued to cut arts (they had a band for the football team but that's about it, no orchestra) so I got transferred out of there because I guess I was a good musician. So instead of a 1 mile commute to Cleveland I had to bike all the hilly way up to Wilson, 5 miles in the winter rain with a bassoon on my back every morning for Orchestra because the busses wouldn't pick me up. I graduated early for a reason.

Finally, an issue that deserves a Men's Rights Association, and they're nowhere to be found.

I went to three separate high-schools across the whole spectrum of what high-schools can be. The public school had no dress code, and the poshest one, a prep school, had a fairly straightforward dress code: wear a collared shirt, and whatever pants you want so long as they aren't blue jeans.

I'm having a difficult time imagining why a Texas public school would need a stricter dress code than an elite New England boarding school, but whatever. Maybe the schoolboard thinks American kids need to become acclimated to the panopticon, because they will be living in the panopticon?

Iron ons

Back when the Simpsons were good.

Wouldn't that be the opposite of stupid?

You're right. These poor kids should cling to an education system that gets steadily worse as the years go by, just so that they can have a chance to go to a university that will bleed them dry and leave them with very few options in life.

Yeah, that's the smart thing to do. :/

Also stupid enough that they're filming themselves rioting. Facebook/the cops need to know about all the illegal things I did! Woo! YOLO!

WE WILL REBUILD
