Those are bad rules and should never have been instituted. That is the whole thrust of this thread, that schools are fucked up by the stupid rules or policies they have.

I'd love to hear why you think it's a bad rule.

People should be able to wear whatever they want, as long as it is decent and doesn't advocate illegal acts.

North Dakota State University Bans Fencing Team Citing School’s Weapons Policy…
A butter knife is more dangerous than a fencing sword.
Via Campus Reform:
Looks like the pen is still mightier than the sword.
The newly formed fencing club at North Dakota State University (NDSU) cannot practice on campus thanks to the university’s weapons policy.
“The current interpretation of the non-weapon policy in NDSU…understands our fencing equipment as weapons,” Enrique Alvarez, the club’s coach, told Valley News Live.
The swords the club uses have no sharp points or blades. The tips are flat and spring-loaded. Still, the university deems them weapons; as such, possession or use of the swords is prohibited on university owned or controlled property.

First-Grade ‘Y.M.C.A.’ Performance Canceled Due to ‘Racist’ Indian Costume
A Fargo, N.D., elementary school canceled an upcoming performance of the Village People’s classic song “Y.M.C.A” by its first grade after a parent objected to the “racist” representation of Native Americans in one of the costumes involved.
Students at Bennett Elementary School were set to perform the song in a talent show later this month. Teachers asked parents to dress their kids as one of the group’s members, choosing from a policeman, a cowboy, a biker, a construction worker, or a Native American.
One parent, Elaine Bolman, protested that dressing up as a Native American was inappropriate and perpetuated stereotypes, according to the Forum of Fargo-Moorhead, and the performance was off.
“I’m not in a position to do anything for these educators, and hopefully those people that are can make the right choices so all students of any culture and race won’t feel singled out or like their race is being stereotyped against,” she told the newspaper.

Middle School Cancels Honors Night Because It’s Too “Exclusive”…
Participation trophies for all!
Via East Greenwich Patch:
Citing concerns about the “exclusive nature” of the annual honors night at Archie R. Cole Middle School, school officials have decided to scrap the tradition.
Instead, students who would normally be recognized at the annual spring tradition will be honored during team-based recognition ceremonies and graduation.
The notice was sent to parents over the weekend in an e-mail signed by School Principal Alexis Meyer and Assistant Principal Dan Seger.
“Members of the school community have long expressed concerns related to the exclusive nature of Honors Night,” the email stated.
By having the recognition ceremonies during team-based ceremonies, it will “afford us the opportunity to celebrate the individual and collective success of all students and their effort, progress and excellence.”

Liberals don't hate success per se. What they hate is success by individuals. Libs tend to think of everybody as parts of groups, rather than individuals. That's why they defend school busing and affirmative action, because these things sometimes provide some benefit to groups, often at the cost of individual members of those groups.

Instead of wasting taxpayer dollars with 2 awards nights, they combine it to 1, and look who complains.

Update: Sanity prevails.
EAST GREENWICH, R.I. —Honors Night at Archie R. Cole Middle School is back on the table after school officials got a wave of feedback — much of it negative — in response to a decision to cancel the tradition citing concerns about it being too exclusive.
School officials on Tuesday afternoon sent a message to the school community announcing there has been a change of heart and that “we have decided to honor excellence as we had planned.”
The difference now is that the honors celebration will be held “at a traditional evening event,” similar to the sports awards ceremony held each year to honor student athletes.
“Our original communication would have benefited from more clarity regarding the change in the format for honoring student excellence,” Principal Alexis Meyer and Assistance Principal Dan Seger said in a statement. “We are exceedingly proud of the outstanding achievements of Cole students and obviously had no intention of failing to acknowledge and celebrate exemplary student accomplishment in its many forms.”
The rationale behind the original change, which was to scrap the tradition in favor of recognizing individual student accomplishments at team-based recognition ceremonies and graduation, was based on a desire to “create a venue where all kids who meet the high expectations” of the school are celebrated in a “manner consistent with our core values about student learning and performance.”

No Joke: School Disciplines Second-Grader For Thinking Cloud Looked Like A Gun…
PC on steroids.
(KKTV) – A little boy is in trouble for a picture he drew as part of a school assignment.
Second grader Kody Smith was assigned to go outside, look at the clouds, and then use his imagination to draw what he saw.
“Draw a picture of what you see in the clouds from your imagination and that picture is a gun,” explained 8-year-old Kody.
Because it was a gun, the teacher at Talbott Elementary in Widefield called him into the office, and then filed a behavior report. His parents say that’s too much.
“It hurts. It hurts that he was so scared for being penalized for his imagination,” said Kody’s father, Jeff Smith.
“He’s 8 years old. He was doing exactly what he was told to do for the assignment,” said Kody’s mother, Angel Rivers.
The report says Kody showed behavior that is disruptive to the entire learning community. The parents were worried that this would be on his permanent school record. The Widefield School District says it will not be.
D-3 also sent us this statement: “Our primary responsibility as a school district is to ensure safety of all staff, students and community. We exercised an age-appropriate reaction to an incident. The student’s education was never disrupted nor is this incident on the student’s permanent record. Our response was in line with routine procedures focused on school safety.”

K-12 IMPLOSION UPDATE: PA 1st-Grader Accidentally Brings Toy Gun To School, Turns It In, Gets Suspended. Lesson learned: It is best not to come to the attention of the authorities. Really, public schools are looking less and less healthy for children and other living things.
