R.I. school bans all fashions kids like
EAST GREENWICH, Conn., Aug. 30 (UPI) -- A Rhode Island high school enacted a dress code Wednesday, banning almost everything teenagers like wearing, the Providence (R.I) Journal reported.
The East Greenwich High School, south of Providence, now bans any kind of hat, visible underwear, bare midriffs, ripped jeans, spike-studded bracelets and collars, and to the dismay of many of the girls, spaghetti-strap tops, the newspaper said.
Meg Baird, 16, told the Journal she could understand the visible underwear ban, but said no spaghetti-straps was going too far.
"They have restricted way too much," she said. "Girls like to wear spaghetti-straps and that's what is in all the stores."
The new taboos join previous bans on see-through clothing, mini-skirts and shirts whose slogans promote drugs, alcohol, smoking, violence or sexual activity, the newspaper said.

I don't think that there is any reason for kids to dress like mini-Britney's when in school. It is supposed to be a place for learning, not getting laid. Give me a break.[/quote]
