If no one had a problem with it, how do you know about it?

Personally I think Mexicans should go back to Mexico but if they want to be Americans then they can stay.

ok... prehaps "nobody had a problem with it" was the wrong term to use...

how about ... nobody did a GD thing about it?

that work?

It offended me, but i didnt go running to the ACLU or the nearest law firm crying like a lil prick about it.

probably should have eh? since thats what we're reduced to?

Actually, I propose that we ban the wearing of shirts in general, especially by girls - as an accommodation to all those single guys who never get to see any boobs, except on the internet

What, makes as much sense AND accommodates a much more inclusive minority

you're on the right track.

Personally i think that all Public schools should have uniforms.

I went to a private school, we were required to wear uniforms.

we b*tched about it for about a week and then it sort of went by the wayside.

on the positive not... nobodys clothes were any more or less offensive or provocative / revealing than anyone else's.

I know what my kids are wearing next may 5, now, lol.

If we had the german equivalent (I have a german surname), they'd need to celebrate most days of May and June, lol.

Charter schools in Baltimore are now uniformed schools. I like uniforms because there is never any question in my house as to what to wear for school on any given day and it saves me a bundle every year because I do not need to buy the latest trends in clothing/shoes. I think we have had this discussion before and I was basically called an ass for liking uniforms for schools.

I didn't because I agree with you.

Yep, like me. I'm too old to go to school but I can't even imagine what would happen if (hypothetically) I went to school wearing Czech flag t-shirt on October 28th and was making big fuss about Americans wearing their colors.

But Mexicans are given so many liberties that it blows my mind.
If you are so proud to be Mexican that you are offended about Americans wearing THEIR colors in THEIR country on YOUR holiday the pack the f--- up and go back to Mexico.
Either assimilate or get out!
(The same goes for Indians and Somalis)

i should clarify though...

I was only in private school for a little under 2 years. Upon leaving the 8th grade private school i went to a public high school.

talk about culture shock.

It was quite an eye opener in more ways than one.

in the private school you had basically 4 or 5 pairs of shirts and slacks. and thats it.

in the public school, you never knew what you were going to see.

I once wore a T-shirt to school i got in trouble for... it had a golf ball logo on the front left breast.

on the back a golf tee, broken and laying on a torn patch of green grass with dirt with the caption "Par Sucks"

the kid in another class routinely wore a shirt which had a rooster and a cat staring each other down as if about to fight.

the cat was calling the rooster a "chicken" and the rooster was calling the cat a "pussy".

he never got into any trouble with it that im aware of.

and you always had the way way way too short skirts, problem is these were only worn by two types of women.

either it was the unattainable senior super model in the making, cheer leading team captain - though this was rare

or it was (more commonly) the 350 lb girl from the movie "precious" wearing the mini-skirts

none of the cute, "attainable" girls ever wore that sort of thing unfortunately.

you had the bikers, the gangsters, the rednecks the goths, the preps and it was all really sad.

in the uniformed school, i noticed that 1. Cliques were way less likely to exist (though they did) but they were less distinguishable 2. nobody got in trouble for their clothes, 3. nobody got made fun of for their clothing choices - because you say something mean about someones uniform choice, it was inevitable that you would be wearing the exact damned thing you made fun of on Thursday

unfortunately i think that most of your 16-17-18 year old crowd wouldnt even get it... or be able to identify the flag at all for that matter.

to quote one of my 17 year old students directly "You go to school to socialize and get girls, and make friends... not to learn stuff!"
