The New Dress Code is Unfair

By: Jake Walker, sophomore

The new dress code, which bans band t-shirts is unfair and a over-the-top. As a student, I think it's ridiculous that the school board and principal can tell us what we can wear at all, but band t-shirts? It seems to me there are a lot of other things they could focus on, like the inedible "food" they serve us every day in the cafeteria.

Wearing a t-shirt with our favorite band, sports team, etc. is one of the important ways students express themselves. Why take that away? Are we all supposed to just be nameless and have no personalities? Maybe that's what Principal Dale and the board wants, academic robots. I say, we students ban together fight it. Join me and make your opinions heard at the next school board meeting next Tuesday! Let's show them that we're not going to let them take our individuality and creativity!
