OK, seriously? Kindergartener banned for wearing

Oh hell no. Is that city law even constitutional? I'd lawyer up.

[GailGoldie]

that is simply insane.

If they have huge problems with gang fights, etc... then they should have school uniforms (ie- white shirts and navy pants/shorts for everyone).

What!? That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

What?!?! That doesn't make any sense at all.

[denise]

What a joke.

I do not understand this level of dedication to college sports at all.

I wouldn't have even understood what a shirt with "The Big House" on it was referencing, let alone forced a 5 year old to hide it.

Come to think of it, if the kid is in kindergarten, none of the kid's classmates could even read what it said.

City officials should have more important things to legislate.

I know of a kindergarten teacher who would wear a "go cocks!" (for Univ of South Carolina gamecocks) sweatshirt to teach and never was told not to. I felt it was inappropriate, especially since it was not in SC where more people would at least know what it was about. But not my business as I didn't have a kid there. Can't believe a law like that can exist!

This is exactly what I was thinking.

That's up there with my high school banning us from wearing red & blue (our school colors) because the gangs in my hometown use red & blue as their rival colors. 8-D

I went to school in the rich part of town. The gang members attended a different high school across town.

How odd. But I also think that schools that ban character shirts are crazy too.

Well, Michigan does suck.

Go Hoosiers.

[mrsjuleshs]

Growing up our schools banned all sports attire with any team reference and that included the kindergarten level. Their reaction is a bit excessive but I do understand 0 tolerance

After the girl who couldn't get her diploma for saying "hell" and this story, I'm starting to think Oklahomans are craaaazzzy strict about stupid shit.
