Indiana School ACTUALLY backs Principal's decision...

Interesting story out of Hammond, Indiana where a Principal, at Morton High School, suspended 128 students for violating the school dress policy. The surprising information about this story is that the school board members actually support the Principal.

The students, representing about 10% of the student body, were suspended for wearing baggy pants, low-cut shirts, tank tops and graphic T-shirts, as well as students using cell phones during classes.

This is very surprising, in this day and age, for the school board to actually support an administrator like this. Typically the ACLU would have already been called in throwing their legal mumbo-jumbo, gonna sue ya lingo around. Not the case just yet. Of course though, the ACLU is probably still busy in Shreveport, Louisiana where Black kids were forced to give up seats to White kids. I cannot believe something like this would still happen in 2006.

With the way society has become, it is surprising that the prinicpal received as much support as he/she did. However, rules are rules they do need to be enforced, but I have to agree with you, it will not be long and the ACLU will be involved in a lawsuit.
