It's clear you only want an argument and you aren't getting it here. It's been shown to you, you can accept it or not, no skin off my back
for the sake of habitforming
My niece, who is in 10th grade, and who is an independent thinker, questioned this. She told her home room teacher that she didn't want to wear a hoodie in support of Treyvon Martin. The teacher asked why, and my niece said she felt bad he died, but that maybe he was the one who attacked Zimmerman, and she didn't feel comfortable supporting anybody when she didn't know the facts.
The next day my niece showed up to school dressed nicely, but not wearing the hoodie. She was sent to the principal's office and reprimanded, and told that she either had to wear a hoodie or go home. The principal told her to go to the lost and found and find a hoodie to wear. The principal's reasoning was that it was important that the students show uniformity, and support for a fellow high school student that was gunned down.
My niece went to the lost and found in tears, and called her mom. Her mom called the principle, who told her to come pick her up from school.
Now is where the story gets good....
Her mom went into the principal's office the next day to confront her on what happened. The principal told her that it's important that the students "fall in" and "sometimes you have to learn to comply." Her mom pointed to the school's values posted on the wall and noted that "compliance" wasn't one of the values, and that in fact "diversity" was a value.
The principal replied, "Diversity means the right kind of diversity. Not your daughter's kind of diversity."
I wanted to tell the world about the school and the principal, but it would only make it harder for my niece. She's already targeted over this.
Is this an aberration, or is it normal for schools these days to be run like indoctrination camps? How does this ever get fixed?
My sister-in-law wants to move over this. I don't blame her.
My niece sent home from school for NOT wearing a hoodie

I was thinking the same thing about you except for the fact that I actually did show you. You were not able to use the OP's own words anywhere in your pointless argument. I quoted it directly for you and showed you that you are wrong.
Now I am just curious why you care so much to support something you yourself cannot really confirm or deny.
quoting something, then claiming the complete opposite of what it says isn't proof sweetie, it's just showing your lack of reading comprehension.

1. She asked about the hoodie
2. She showed up without a hoodie after having asked about it and not told "no"
3. Even though she had asked about it, she was sent to the office because she wasn't wearing one.

They sent her to look for a "used one" which she couldn't find and became upset.
she called her parents.
Instead of addressing the issue, the principal suggested she be taken home.

Sent her to look for a "used one"? In case they can't find a "used one", she and her parents could visit a local store that sell hoodies, for example a Superdry store and buy a Hoodie (hoodie for women of course) there, or buy from ebay stores.ebay.co.uk... stores.ebay.co.uk... stores.ebay.co.uk... stores.ebay.co.uk... or they can also try check out from this www.independenttradingco.com... online shopping site.
I have a Hoodie like this and Superd ry Core Military Pants and Superdry Military Cargo Pants and Prospector Boots like these Superdry Black Leather New Panner Military Boots and Superdry Brad Bomber leather jacket bought from a Superdry store, but of course they also have Hoodies for women there too just in case the niece should be interested to check it out.
So far so good i prefer hoodies from Superdry, but of course, we all have different tastes. What caught my eyes about Superdry clothes is the "Timeless American style" design...edit on 16-6-2012 by Anunaki10 because: (no reason given)

First, she have plenty of time to buy hoodie in the local store or online... Second, it does NOT necessarily have to take ONLY 10-15 minuttes to buy in local stores or online... Do you really THINK that the stores give their customers ONLY 10-15 minuttes to buy their goods???
I can assure you that the stores will NOT say to her >>You have only 10-15 minuttes to look around in our store, otherwise you have NO right to buy our hoodie!

Little 'PurpleChiten' sweetie... she had plenty of time to buy a hoodie in a local store... do you understand this??? If you don't, then i suggest you to go back to your teachers in your school and let them teach you how to understand how business work out there...
And like i just said, she still have ENOUGH time to run to the local store and buy a hoodie there or buy it online, and wear it for the next "Treyvon Martin" day next year...edit on 16-6-2012 by Anunaki10 because: (no reason given)

You want arguments, that's all. You don't want to understand anything, you don't want to find out more, you don't want anything other than an argument and will keep fussing and fuming until you get it.
Go find someone else to argue with on this and the other threads that you keep twisting and altering things on because I'm really not interested in your little game.
I've been very patient with you and have shown you over and over and over and over... yet you still just want to argue.
You can argue with someone else. It has been shown to you, it has been explained to you, it has been spelled out for you. It's very clear that you want nothing more than to argue and bicker.
Go ahead and rant and rave, I'm finished trying to spoon feed you. Patience has a limit and these games are approaching mine.
Goodbye and good luck on graduating high school soon.

She didn't WANT to wear a hoodie because she didn't know if Zimmerman was right or Martin was right and there was a program going on at SCHOOL where it shouldn't be going on.
USA Today 23. April, 2012 - Despite opposition, paddling students allowed in 19 states...
There was no ALTERNATIVE given and it was not part of the curriculum.
She was being cheated out of her education by a POLITICAL IDEA that a group of people wanted to have a program about.
The school was WRONG in doing this.
Does that help you understand a little better Sweetie pie Honey darlin or are you not capable of understanding??
....as far as "going back to my teachers in school"... they're not around anymore and the present ones come to ME for advice Sweetie pie Honey darlin...

No matter if Zimmerman was right or Martin was right the school's rules says that the students are REQUIRED to wear hoodie that day, and the students have to obey and follow these rules no matter what opinion the students might have.

You are confusing RULES with MADE UP NONSENSE CRAP. The school cannot decide on a whim that every student has to go out and buy clothing not part of the school uniform. Luckily it never happened so why you are defending made up nonsense makes no sense.
