Was this in the 2000s? After the Columbine shooting, a lot of schools banned big trench coats and other long jackets because you could have hIdDeN wEaPoNs under them
That was what, twenty-five years ago almost? That's a lot of people who have gone to school with that rule who weren't alive when Columbine happened. It's almost a shame we don't post citations to why rules/regulations were added.
Ahh, yes, of course. Forgot about that. I graduated 2010 so that wasn’t really on my radar at the time.
Another favorite was “no flat billed hats”. I’m realizing now a lot of it had a very “we don’t want gangs. Well, all rappers are gangsters, let’s watch some hip hop music videos and just rule out everything they wear” vibe.
