Duncanville High School sent home a bunch of students for violating the dress code. I understand why the students are upset. The dress code is completely unreasonable -- tucked-in shirts with collars, no sagging pants, belts, closed-toe shoes. What teenager would want to be caught dead dressed like that???
At any rate, all-out anarchy ensued as the students had a food fight and rioted. They intend to continue breaking the dress code until the end of school.
My question: where are the parents? Don't they care that their children are defying legitimate authority figures and legitimate rules? Don't they care that their children think they should be able to do whatever they want when they want? Of course, the answer to that may be that the parents are where the children learned the behavior in the first place.
