i dont like this piercing phase these kids are going through. i would never let my daughter wear that crap as long as she lived in my house. i think its ugly. i also think baggy pants with boxers sticking out is lame. i thing wearing Aston Kutcher trucker hats is lame. so what? who cares? certainly not them. i laugh when i stand in line at blockbuster and the guy has this crap jingling from his face........he'll figure it out in a few years.



agreed

by the rationale of many of the people in heres socialistic thinking we should also:
1. ban modifications from cars because they are distracting, they make noise, and they may result in serious injury/death.
2. ban baggy/tight pants for the same reasons as piercings.
3. ban video games because it is an ovious venting of a child's anger because he has serious issues that he is suppressing and his parents are ignoring. this may lead to him shooting everyone at school.
4. ban rap music because its offensive and most people do not like it. what? you like rap music? then go live somewhere else. something must be wrong with your mother if youre white and you listen to hip hop.
5. you wanna wear a yamika(sp?) in class?! too bad, youre in the bible belt, you dont like, move back to NY! WTH is wrong with your mother letting you walk around with that little thing on your head and thinking that Jesus wasnt the savior!
6. you might be too young to remember (i know i am) when black people were too distracting and offensive and were considered too dangerous by many southern schools.
7. we should do it like old school china with the short haircuts and drab grey suits for everyone. then people can just focus on their work.



this part is funny. i don't know that i agree with socialist though. maybe fascist would be a better choice of words imo. i as well am too young to have experienced the civil rights movement first hand, but, i am personally familiar with the anti-anybody not white mentality from dealing with some of my southern relatives.

i went to a private baptist school in 8th grade where girls could not wear pants (looong dresses) and boys had to tuck their button up collered shirts in, and must wear a belt. boys had to have short "neat" hair and no facial hair or earings whatsoever. girls could have earings but only one stud in each ear..........imagine that in a public school.



i too attended one of these schools when i was in elementary school. plus i will see your uniforms and raise you weekly inspections in dress uniform. very militaristic in style. the entire school(grades k-8) assembled and stood at attention until such time as the inspections/prayer/pledge of aliegence(sp?)/announcements were finished. nobody in that school dared try the hooliganism going on today. outside of school you could do whatever you wanted but while in class you complied to the rules or you found somewhere else to get an education. i don't have to imagine the public schools going to uniforms. i went to a public junior high that switched to uniforms to year i started highschool. that school still requires uniforms and other schools have follwed suit.
