Another case of offensive clothing in school

[Quantum Windbag]

Except no one can rationally accuse anyone of being racist.

A 13-year-old student at Tacoma's Truman Middle School just wanted to show his team spirit when he wore a Pittsburgh Steelers jersey to his school's Seahawks appreciation day on Friday.

But school administrators sent Grendon Bailie home, saying his choice of clothing was inappropriate - and that Seahawks shirts or colors were the only exception allowed outside the uniform school's normal strict dress code.

Now the seventh-grader says he feels it was unfair for the school to single him out for punishment, simply because he and his family are Steelers fans and not Seahawks fans.

I can, however, point out how stupid school policies are. They either need to enforce a dress code, or allow any exceptions without regard to content of the exception.

Lame

Schools can't enforce a rule, can't lighten a rule for a day w/o someone making a jackass of themselves.

pfft

It was Seahawk day, not wear your jersey day.

Sending him home for breaking dress code is a comon punishment.

Unless on overweight or old people all clothing is offensive.
