On May 11,2007 an article titled \' HHS proposes new, stricter dress code\'stated that next year a few changes would be made.
The article \'proposed\' that things that were hazardous and distracting to students were to be banned from the school.
Banned items :
- Mp3 & CD players ; [is rumored. But actually may not be banned]
- Electronic decives; Cell Phones [also rumored]
- Hats, Caps, Hoods, Dew [sic] rags, skull caps & scarves
Other changes :
- Students are banned from showing any kind of underwear
[underpants, briefs, boxers, thongs, panties, camisoles
and brassieres ]
The thing about the underwear ban is, what if someone doesn\'t know their underwear is out Or if they bend over
- No Midriffs, cleavage
- All sorts of jackets [coats, starter jackets, satin jackets, letter jackets, down jackets, windbreakers,etc]
- No metal chains or spike jewelry .
The school considers the chains and spike jewelry a safty hazard. How is it unsafe Its not like they throw themselves at the students.
Schools want us to be individuals, how can we do that with our rights being taken away
The school board is still ignoring our concerns about these dress code restrictions. Call the principal office this afternoon and tell them that student expression is not a distraction. Post the link to our petition on your own Facebook wall to keep the pressure on.

We hit our stride this week and the administration cannot ignore this level of pushback anymore. Post the link to your Facebook feed right now and send a direct email to the principal asking them to drop these ridiculous restrictions.

This is ridiculous. People already have enough to worry about with classes and grades without getting in trouble for their clothes. Let us wear what we want.

Schools should focus on education and not policing what kind of bra strap shows. Focus on the real problems.

Fix the budget instead of worrying about my hoodie. This is not helping the school environment.
