What is wrong with our schools? When I went, no teeshirts were allowed, just out of a sense that school was serious business. But now places like Fremont get student walkouts when they try to ban _pajamas_ in class. Not just sweat pants, but the jammies you slept in last night. Where are the parents? ---

Either that or the school can just require all students to wear uniforms. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/court-says-schools-can-ban-hurtful-t-shirt-slogans/353674.md?page=2)
