It was something called "freedom of expression" and was a part of growing up.
After reading all those "rules" on how students can dress, it seems to me that instead of grooming free thinkers like we used to do in school...we are now preparing young adults to be subordinated to AUTHORITY at all times.
And from reading many of the responses here on GFY...it looks like it's working.

It really is a school by school thing. I graduated in '95. So, I was in school through the 80's and 90's and I can clearly remember kids being sent home to change out of Red Hot Chili Peppers t-shirts because the logo included sperm.
I remember kids being made to turn Spuds Mckenzie shirts inside out because it was a booze advertisement (aimed at kids no less).
The lapse in 'freedom of expression' is covered under the same rules that allow locker searches. While in school the school administration acts as parent.
