Posted on: School dress code would solve many ills

Oh and I went to private school with a real dress code (slacks, polos, certain shorts/skirts, and certain shoes), and THAT solved nothing. Just more BS for administrators to yell at the kids for. Girls still rolled up their skirts to make them shorter. Guys still bought baggy versions of slacks. And jocks got special blind eyes turned to them on issues such as jeans, facial hair, and the like.
I mean when you spranged an ankle, and it was medically wrapped, sandals were OK. But that was about it.

Point of fact is that schools (at least the one public one my wife went to less than a couple years ago) already have minimum dress code rules. Girls can't wear spaghetti strap shirts. I think flip flops aren't allowed (often for open toed safety/insurance reasons). And definitely kids can't wear blatantly "sexy" or grossly inappropriate items. And yeah for the poor families with little income during these times, let's tell them to go buy polo shirts and slacks that they might not have or have the money for. Come on folks.

Posted on: Scouts attend School Board meeting to earn merit badges

Actually I believe it's Citizenship in the Community merit badge. Just saying, from an Eagle Scout.

NO it doesn't have to be factored in. Your tacit acceptance of kiddie porn and sexual predators (especially against the young) is disturbing to say the least. And angry, check out his pathetic defense of Chester Stiles to see a perfect case in point.

Angry, I held my nose and checked it. It basically means a tween (think a 10-14 yo) girl who dresses like a girl in her 20s. This means heels, make-up, minidresses, etc. You get the idea, dressing way past what her age is. They don't understand that the clothes they are wearing are fethishized and have become sex symbols in and of themselves (ie sexy heels). Often they are only mimicking what they see mommy wearing. Pervs run with this and then claim these "sexualized" girls then deserve what they get when they engage in some sort of exchange with an older man. Sorry but these girls don't understand what they are doing and what it truly involves. And even if they did understand and want it, it's not the provence of an older man to engage in such an act with them. It's exploitation, plain and simple.
