What are most teachers banning by how their students dress?

it is true that gangs use caps ( the way they wear them) t-shirts etc, to use as a mean to identify members and it has caused a lot of violence in the past and banning these has greatly reduced the violence.

The same principle is used in other field of activities, for example, at Daytona Bike Week, it is forbidden to wear colors (identifying crests or other letters that connect you with a group) and violence has been almost totally eliminated.

Also, schools are supposed to be places of education, and dressing is part of education. I would not feel comfortable being operated on by a doctor who wears a t-shirt that says something like: ” Death Squad”

Some of our local high schools banned pink shirts for a while because of some misinformation that they were gang-related. It was right around the time that pink shirts on guys hit it big. 😛

Last year the issue was with the Confederate flag (I live in the South), which then turned into a HUGE issue about what you could and couldn’t say in school regarding races. It all started from some redneck insert-a-colorful-expletive-here guys calling some black student a name.

Our school system hasn’t banned white or black t-shirts since we don’t have a lot of gang violence. So they probably never even thought of it. But if it becomes a big deal in the media, they might consider it.

I don’t know about that, but I did remember this one girl in Middle School who wore a bustiay (phonetic spelling) that pushed them up and showed her BB and wore tight pants.

If I were here teachers I’d make her wear a Hajib!

Yeah, thats how it is at my school.

Your not allowed to wear head bands or anything else on your head either. You’ll get suspended

The way students dress can affect whether or not they are distracted from concentrating on their studies. It can also affect their own self-respect.

I dont know but I dont know why at my school your not allowed to wear hats

don’t know
