there isn’t a day that goes by that i don’t watch the news and find that some school is expelling students just because of what they wear, what they say, and what they believe. just recently in southern california, students were banned from wearing plain white tee-shirts! another school, again in so.cal., threatened female students with expulsion if they wore thong underwear to class. who made these “educators” god anyway? also, how can they enforce no thong wearing? “uh-humm, cindy, please pull down your pants so that i may see your underwear!”
What do clothes have to do with morality?
Ignoring the hyperbole (you read about an expulsion EVERYDAY?) Most schools have some kind of dress code (or uniform)…I’m not sure about your post…are you against ALL dress codes…SOME dress codes…or “morally teaching our children”
Talk to the Amish.
Actually, a dress code line must be drawn somewhere, doesn’t it? Technically a bathing suit should qualify as clothing, does it not?
Up north back in the mid 80’s, my H.S. disallowed shorts as Summer drew near, but skirts were okay. Since the schools hadn’t been allowed to turn on the a.c. during a heatwave, several boys wore skirts to school, in protest. The administration changed their minds quick.
let me rephrase myself, i’m sorry. local schools are discouraging students from wearing certain outfits. yes, i can agree and i do understand that dress coded do exist and should be implcated but there isn’t anything on that dress code about not wearing thong underwear. where did that come from? i don’t agree with the school telling students that they can’t wear thongs but i also don’t agree with the students wearing thongs. you don’t go to school to sexually attract others. you go to learn. okay, now that this point is pinned down. if students go to learn then what does not wearing a perticular kind of underwear have to do with learning? how would you like to go back to school and somebody somehow finds out that you have “skidmarks” in your underwear? “uh-humm, joey, learn to wipe your ass correctly so others can learn properly.” before you know it, it is banned for infringing on the dress code and you have to sent home to change you underwear. does that make sense? i can see it if joey’s ass was reaking and disrupting students around him. the school will think of joey’s health and well being as well as the disruption of the learning process due to the foul stench which is his underwear. my final statenment is that students do go to school for sexual reasons and they don’t go to school to be told that they can’t wear this even though it probably isn’t even noticed. dress codes can only go so far. sorry if i have inconvenienced and even confused everyone. please forgive and forget =).
Hoe did they know she was wearing a thong? Did she have a skirt on?
Or was it in the locker room where perhaps the gym teacher saw her (omg, “Scary Movie”), and/or did they find it distracting perhaps because it might be so to a lesbian?
If that was the case then how do they allow said lesbian to shower with the other women?
Oops. Did I just hijack this thread?
Yes how the hell do you know if she’s wearing a thong? someones gotta look, I don’t think the boys are gonna complain either! 
when I went to school the only thing we couldn’t wear was stuff with alcohol or drugs or dirty language or outright sex stuff like monkeys in different possitions. and we didn’t get suspended or anything, we just had to turn it around.
at this point may I kindly suggest a cite…a source…a URL to help folks understand what exactly was banned and why?
On th thong… a thong usually sticks out a little higher and can be seen as a small elastic band just above the waist with some low clothing. I do not know quite why this was distracting, but no, it wou;d not be necessary for someone to be looking up somen’s skirt to find a thong.
