It's hard enough being a high schooler these days with bullying and peer pressure. Students in Minnesota have something else to worry about: Fashion police. One high school has sent home a letter warning parents not to let girls come to school with tight fitting leggings and short tops. Apparently this is a fashion trend that the school is trying to stop. Brendan Spaar wonders why the administrators are so concerned about the dress code. Some schools have a policy against hats, baggy jeans, and wild hair colors that would be distracting to other students. Calling a fashion trend distracting is one step toward conformity and uniformity in education. Is this a step toward controlling thoughts and expression?
