A student, Courtney Falke, at Shawnee Mission North High School in Overland park, was sent home today because of violation of dress code. What violation? Excessive holes? Now I have seen some of the clothes kids wear today and "holes" are actually in. I believe you can even buy jeans with holes already in them. And you would think there would be a reduction on the cost for using less material, but no that is not the case. Some even cost more. It's kind of like paying more for a good donut, even though there's a big hole in the middle. Holes are a fashion statement. I am not sure what the statement is...but it is being said all over. When I was in school, bell bottoms were a fashion statement. It meant "cool...groovy..or far out." I was not any of those, but I did make the statement. Reports says the school dress code states students cannot wear clothing with excessive holes. My question is: what is excessive? Does an administrator count the holes before reprimanding?
I have seen boys walking with their baggy pants almost below their jockey shorts because I guess having pants that fall down is a fashion statement, also. Once again, I don't know what the statement is, but it is being stated all over also. A school administrator said "If clothing is too revealing, an administrator could consider that a disruption." Too many holes is a disruption and boys walking around with underwear hanging out isn't? I think she should wear the same jeans, add a few more holes, put on a pair of jockey shorts, and return to school tomorrow.
