I agree that a line has to be drawn. I do not
know what the current dress code is but I do think that how a person/student
dresses reflects their values and how they see themselves. It is a parent's
responsiblity to teach a young lady/man how to dress properly.
I am also wondering if Christian t shirts/ buttons
are allowed under the current dress code? If students have to look
at this crap they certainly should be able to wear shirts with a positive
Christian phrase on them.

I personally find the buttons offensive. I believe
in the right of freedom of speech BUT I believe that our rules for dress
code allow for that and yet draw the line on certain types of buttons and
T-shirt writings that are close to or cross the line. (I sat on the
current dress code committee and we had students on the committe)
I suspect that there have been other buttons and
T-shirts that have been ruled as being unacceptable. If these two
girls are allowed to wear the buttons and if the situation is allowed to
broaden to T-shirts by other students then we might as well throw out the
dress codes and let everyone wear what they want.
The same 'freedom of speech' cop-out argument would
probably fit shirts that advertise beer, sex, witches, profanity, etc etc etc.
