Today in American Studies, we talked about how Mr. Bolos's daughter was asked to remove a political pin she was wearing. As a child in a public middle school and with the pin being completely unoffensive, how is this fair? She is not defying school rules, nor showing disrespect. And this is not the only example. Earlier this week I witnessed a school administrator asking a student to change shirts because of its political message. The student refused and the administrator told the student that it was okay for that day but not to wear it again. How does an adult have the right to tell a student what they can and cannot wear when their clothing or accessory is not profane in any way? That's the thing; they don't. Do you think a student should be able to walk through the hall wearing a McCain hoodie or an Obama pin without being stopped or is this kind of apparrell inappropriate for school?
