Now this video absolutely blew my mind when I first watched it. Salinas High School has made their dress code so strict that students are only allowed to wear certain colors. This is not to be confused with a uniform. The students, and I imagine some of the teachers, are not allowed to wear anything red or blue. Yes, nothing red nothing blue. This includes hair ties, shoes, shoe laces, hats, etc. In the interview, the principal, I believe, states that this rule has been implemented to protect the students from gang violence and those things related to it.
This brings up a completely different topic other than which I have been talking about; gangs and its participants that are still in high school. Now, I cannot begin to give my opinion on this policy because honestly, I still can't rap my head around the fact that gang violence is that bad! WOW!
Do you all think that the Salinas School Board is over reacting? Or perhaps do they have a larger problem on their hands that ultimately they may not have much control over? Interesting...
