Sure at one point we've all complained about a dress code. It's quite unfortunate that you can't wear that tiny skirt you just bought or wear that shirt depicting naked women on the front. But what happens when you get told that you can't be patriotic? That is exactly what happened to Jake Shelley, a sophomore as a Dos Palos school.
On Tuesday Shelly wore a red, white, and blue shirt to school that only read "United States of America, Washington D.C." Clearly unoffensive, unless you have a cretin for a principal. The school's principal made the boy take off his shirt and wear a bright yellow shirt that read, "Dress Code Violator." The principal said that she thought the boy's shirt violated a clause of the dress code forbidding, "shirts/blouses that promote specific races, cultures, or ethnicities."
Okay, first off...who the hell has a clause like that in their dress code? Hello supremacists, meet bullshit liberties, you'll be best friends.
Why shouldn't someone be allowed to wear clothing representing their culture or ethnicity?
The school said the rule will now be interpreted differently. Funny, I didn't know there was another meaning to "We don't care about your life"
As a response to the boy being made to remove the patriotic shirt kids wore as much red, white and blue and carried as many flags around school as they could. Of course, in true American "we'll get you back" fashion.

That decision was just a stunning display of... actually, I'm not quite sure what to call it. Idiocy just doesn't quite seem to say it.
Wow.

O.o Uh... Wow. That is a few different kinds of special. And crazy, lest I forget that.
I really wouldn't know what to call it either, Fallon. Crazy idiocy? Nah, that doesn't come close either.

Since when does the name of a capital promote an ethnicity or culture?

I have no idea, nor do I have any idea why it should be wrong if you're promoting one. Unless it's like for a terrorist group, in which case the feds might like to know.

Do you find it odd that you are not as strong as you once thought?
Maybe when your country represented your ethnicity would this be considered normal, but that happened to be a few centuries ago. I don't know, maybe the 1500s? (sarcasm) And we all know how accepting people were then.
