New Addition to Eldo's "forbidden clothing" list ++_-=({[/\/\0o53/\/\15T]})=-_++


As you may have heard by now, our school as made it punishable to wear any Los Angeles Dodgers apparel at school, as well as Pittsburgh Pirates apparel.

What are your thoughts on this topic?
Is it a fair assertion of the school's power?

Maybe they should care less about baseball apparel and more concerned about getting the AP Calculus class some textbooks....

I think this is so ridiculous!! just because some people involved in gangs got into a fight and were wearing this stuff doesnt mean anyone wearing this is a gang member... my boyfriend wears LA hats all the time, and he is FAAAAR from gang related.
I also heard they don't want us wearing hollister tops now???
i think the school is taking this way too far....

I agree, it's unfair too actual fans. Might as well include all sports teams.

LAME!!!!!!!! even though i don't like the dogders and don't care either way bout the pirates i don't think its fair for the school to have a unreasonable say in the way we express ourself. i know a kid who dresses with SRH and long black socks and he's not at aall a white supremisist. and i know people who love the dogders and are not gang involved. the district is totally profiling and that's not right.

i do see how they have the authority to make that rule and its fine but i wish they would reconsider it. just because gangs wear it doesnt mean, and they should definitely know this, that we are wearing it just because we support that gang. its ridiculous. my chemistry teacher loves the dodgers so now she cant wear the shirt anymore to support her team? oh yeah cause shes definitely a gang banger.

My biggest concern is that this isn't the end. It's going to get to the point where we will have to wear uniforms. Thank goodness I'm graduating in June.

They only racially profile that's why. Seeing as you're not ethnic looking you're allowed to wear sports paraphenalia.

yes, not to be racist, but you know if chris was of a different race, he would probably be up in the office getting a detention or saturday.... but they cant say in the dress code- only certain races cannot wear that certain attire..
its sooo ridiculous

they shouldn't ban the clothing, but definitely should keep an eye on those who match both the attire and racial profile.

As am I.  However,we, unlike the school board do not think that every person of hispanic origin in a dodgers hat is going to pop a cap in me.

how in the world is that racist????!?!?!?

if you were told that there was a gang of white kids that wear a certain piece of clothing to show their "colors" would that be racist?????

that's ridiculous. And please do not call me racist. I despise racism.

If it somehow affects the safety of the school or the students, then we should take caution.

I am not saying to throw all "potential" gang-bangers in detention or saturday. That's ridiculous. But watch them i guess

why is it that whenever anyone says anything about about a different race other than white, its racism?? but its never racism if someone says something specific about white people??

so seriously you guys think this is a case of racial profiling?

i mean i know racism exists today
however i dont think this rule was implemented on the basis of race

i think it was the administration getting scared of more gang related fights
so they re trying to suppress the problem by the only means they know how

controlling us with their "rules" and "dress codes"

fact of the matter is
this is a public school

its not like they havent had to deal with diversity before
they re just doing what they "think is best"

i didnt call you racist drew and im sorry you took offense to that but watching them just because they fit it racially isnt really fair. if i get to wear that stuff then any race should. thats all i meant
