Here’s one for the ages: A high school in Gonzales, Texas has come up with a unique — and uniquely stupid — plan to deal with students who violate the school’s dress code. Get this: They’re going to force students to wear “prison-style” jumpsuits, as seen in the video here.

What planet are these school officials on? Pretty much every male student in America is going to show up for school on September second dressed like someone who is either about to go to, or just got out of, prison. And now they’re going to punish non-conformists by making them look gangsta?

I am frigging giddy. I can’t  wait to  see how this turns out.

    I agree, Andrew. Maybe they should make them pink jumpsuits.

    I read the article earlier but didn’t watch video. I just watched the video and it was funny.

    Parents are worried that kids will look like prisoners and then that teenage boy with dyed red hair says everyone will want to wear the jumpsuits.

    I think authorities should focus on colour, not what kind of clothing they will have to wear. Academic gowns are black and these kids are the right age for Harry Potter. They might like to pretend they are sorcerers.

    Sorcerers? Now you want to turn these kids to satanism and witchcraft?
