Mr Rosemond, you are extremely off base in your article on uniforms. The parents who are opposed to mandatory public school uniforms are the parents who always made sure there children were dressed in compliance with the dress codes at their schools (Dress...

A High Price To Pay For A Fashion Faux Pas
It started over a dress code violation, hardly reason enough to throw away an academic career and certainly no reason to be charged with a felony."I have goals I want to achieve and this is stopping that," says 17-year old Sabrina Herndon. Herndon was wearing a jacket and strapless top and was changing in the girl's locker room at Palm Beach Gardens High School. A teacher noticed the strapless top which is a dress code violation. Herndon says with the jacket though, the top is within dress code.And note she was changing out of it, so what was the problem?
A male assistant principal then entered the girl's locker room, and within minutes Herndon was in a choke hold.What was a male doing in the girls locker room????? There is no reason for a male assistant principal to be in a girls locker room. That alone should be considered sexual harassment. Why did he put her in a choke hole, unless she had a GUN or KNIFE he had no excuse to resort to violence. As far as I can tell all she had was a strapless top he objected to.
Herndon says she doesn't understand why she's the criminal, when she's the one who was choked.You know I can't figure that out myself.
"It's his word against mine and mine is being overlooked." Herndon is now facing expulsion and her college career is in question. A high price to pay for a fashion faux pas."For the whole thing to go out of proportion over a dress code issue is ridiculous," she says.I agree.
