In my opinion, dressing rules should apply to ALL coming to those dances aka Homecoming, that are being held......I was told by phone and the rule book of Rockdale County school that dresses had to be to the knees....as a witness, I saw several girls admitted with dresses up to the rear end!! They should have been turned away as NON DRESS CODE!! Try going to the Mall and finding a tasteful dress for the generation today and you will be there all day finding one that falls on the knee...it can be tasteful and shorter, but I saw some that was just out rageous especially for a 9th grader....how their parents even let them out of the house is beyond me....

All good thoughts, and I agree, however, school and parental control over our children has been effectively neutered by falling morals, liberal judges, the ACLU and other lawyers, and the democrat "progressive" if-feels-good-do-it crowd.

Greed and entitlements are killing our cities and states, and eventually, the nation. Seems that the past generations of leaders never progressed above high school mentality, and cling to th live-for-the-moment way of life.

It was better when being an American was the norm and being "cool" was just a teen fad...now it's the other way around. You don't have to even be an American to be president, you just have to be "cool", and hand out the dollars.

Its will be racism if you try to enforce anytype of dress code. This ghetto county has lost all control of the schools here, the BOE has no spine at all. These rules should be enforced and if they want to sue let them, if the rules are enforced across the board they have nothing to throw the card at. People the race card is a joke, its a card used by losers who cannot follow simple rules and regulations. The white, middleclass, christian male is the most discriminated against in the USA and we bring more to the table than most people. Teachers enforce the rules and when the administration does not back you then you should sue the BOE, that may wake their sorry rear ends up. I feel for teachers these days because they get zero support from most of the parents and the BOE.

What more do you bring to the table than anyone else? You say people who use the race card are a joke but you turn around and say your the most discriminated against. Sounds like using the race card to me.

I find that many parents don't want to be parents....they want to be friends......nope didn't happen here!! Parents need to take charge....I keep saying this and hoping one day someone will listen, turn around and act like the parents instead of the BFF. We had dress codes. Didn't hurt us!! And my parents sure did tell me NO alot!!
