i think we beat this one like a dead horse no point in continuing. long story short the school is well within its rights since it explicitely states i hope in all its classes and rules that such behavior is unacceptable

How old are you?

Teenagers are always testing the limits and school is more than just learning.
I don't like blue hair but it really does not distract the teens (maybe an old person like you). The wonderful thing about Americans is that we are able to be are own person and innovate instead of being a conforming drone.

Old enough to know better.

I believe having been a teenager once that i knew that

In this case it really dosen't matter what you or i like. It is the rule the school put in place. So these students were required to comply.

I agree. America is a wonderful place. But even in America rules are put in place for a reason. In school just like everything else we abide by the rules. You don't obey the rules you get put out and I agree with that.

to add to those points above regarding America, the reason we need such rules is because the class of people here in some places flat out sucks, kids are raised by nannies who sometimes are no more than kids themselves, there is no etiquete for anything, no manners nothing is taught. its a spoiled society, look at europe for how they raise their kids they know how to use a knife and fork for g-ds sake, yes eating pizza with a knife and fork is a bit funny to us but it works quite well. I'm not complaining about US, hell I live here but I'm just saying that if parents and society wont do something, someone has to and school is a place for education so what better place than school if not a home

Rules for rules sake makes no sense, kids like to express them selves and a dress code in a public school is a rule for rule sake.

I read about someone charge with broadcasting a Arab TV station in the US.

I think this is censorship.

If we are not careful American is going to become strict conservative state instead of the land of freedom and diversity.

freedom and diversity has its limits if the general population doesnt have a brain. get it? carrying a gun as is allowed in other parts of the world would be detrimental to everyone here in the US because people would use it too often. I'm 24 trust me I've yet to forget the days of school, I didnt say put everyone in uniforms but pants that are below the waist line are plain out unacceptable. What is the point? what are you expressing that you are "gangsta'"? its showing lack of class, or a girl wearing a skirt so low cut that when she bends one can see her ass? Granted I wont complain but a 14yr old should not be dressing like that its plain out sick. and gets the attention of sick bastards out there on the streets. I dont know how old you are but I'm not conservative nor am I old

The problem is that you are setting the rule, maybe we should require that all girls wear Hijab or ħijāb, that way "sick bastards" would see less.

The other problem is that you think you know better "the general population doesn't have a brain". I have two thoughts on that:

1 Maybe we should get rid of the democratic system and have you run the country.

2 Hitler was very smart person

taking a statement out of context is what you are doing, do you think its right for a 14yr old to wear something that when she bends over you see the color of her thong if she is wearing one? Personally i dont think something like that should be worn by any age not because i dont like it but because its inappropriate and gets the wrong attention and is associated with the wrong kind of people, you want to be provocative and sexy there are other ways to do it. plus school is no place for that. i'm not setting any rules, i used to wear sweats to school and jeans and pants shirt and tie, yes i'll agree banning any tshirts with writing on it is a bit over board but banning pants below waist line is pointless there is no class or fashion associated with it. especially at high school age when instead of thinking with their head they look at what others are doing and where do you think others get their ideas? parents who dont know better mainly associated to the fact that 14yr olds are having kids. yet sex on tv is a taboo. I could be here all day with this so make a very good point on why i'm wrong or rather why i should rethink my opinion, i'm flexible here

The problem is that the norm moves, we once thought that seeing a bra strap was a big deal. So you see the thong after a while its not all that provocative. If the democratic system says that it is indecent that one thing but its not for you or I to set the norm or the the rule.
