‘Slutty Wednesday’: NY high-school students protest dress code

[Posteritatis]

5. "Our only dress code in school was 'wear clothes'" - Hee.

I like your wording there.

Mine was pretty much the same way. (Late nineties, but I live down the street from the place now and can see the same policies are in effect.) We'd see the full gamut, from slacks and dress shirts to some spectacular eccentricity.

Some stuff would raise eyebrows now and then but there weren't any of the "disruptions" that dress-code advocates live in constant fear of. People'd occasionally try something a little too daring, but school environments being what they are there's as much pressure to tone some stuff down as there is to do the opposite.
