Well I was all ready to jump on the school hating bandwagon until I came across this important detail:

Some 30 to 40 students participated in the prank, but students who agreed to change back into business casual attire weren't suspended, Jones reported.

Those who refused were suspended. Some of the students who were suspended said they were told it was for inciting a riot.

Damn right they got suspended.

"My dad just said, 'You do stuff that's stupid, and you get a stupid punishment,'" Jellison said.

There's a nugget of truth right there.

America has lost.

We lost the war with ourselves.

The school had to enforce it's "business casual" dress code while every business in the Pittsburgh area probably suspended theirs and encouraged their employees to wear Steeler colors. Dumbass administrators.

GO PACK!

I have no problem with them being disciplined, but not for "inciting a riot"

Just because the students were stupid dosen't make it ok for the school to go full retard and call it a riot.

dosen't look good on the college app when you have "inciting a riot" on your transcript.

I wonder what the school motto is? "Cranking out cube drones since 1997"

They were probably worried about the sharp increase in bathroom rapes that occurred.

/rape

I'm quite certain every person in Wisconsin that worked in a place with a business casual dress code was allowed to wear a jersey on Friday.

Pretty sure the people that didn't wear Packer colors here were fired or suspended. I've been wearing two different Packer hats myself.

Ok, that is bizarre. It's one thing if it is a simple dress code violation - the rules are clear, and if you choose to break them then you can expect some sort of punishment.

An exception for team colours beyond that is simply bizarre. America doesn't have any substantial sport rivalries to speak of, it's not the sort of thing I would expect from administrators there.

They were suspended for DEFIANCE. The students that accepted the fair warning and changed back were not suspended. It's that simple. It's like the assclowns in the real world who get "resisting arrest" added to whatever.

Subby of course meant "flouting" authority, right? Because "flaunt" means to show off. "Flout" means to mock or disregard. Must be a Steelers fan.

In before "Vocab Nazi."

Quote of the year!

Lot of rape in this thread. I'm beginning to think Farkers like rape almost as much as Ben Roethlisberger likes rape. Rape.

Sounds like the school administration went "cute now put on your normal clothes and get back to work" then the 10 dumbest of the 30 went "No way we don't need no stinkin rules" to which the administration said "fine you're suspended"

I guess we could argue the business casual dress code when more and more workplaces are moving away from formal dress codes for normal operations, but I don't really think the administration did anything really wrong here.

PraetorianXVIII: they should hire whatever attorney got Roethlisburger off those bajillion rape charges

Indeed. It takes some real good lawyerin' to get a woman who bragged to all her friends about farking you to admit that she was actually okay with having farked you.

If you do not have authority, you cannot "flaunt" it. If you got it, flaunt it. Link. If you don't got it, you can't flaunt it.

The word you seek, Smitty, is "flout."

I've always hated the arbitrary strictness of dress codes in schools. It seems so stupid. Once they get jobs and careers, they'll be wearing uniforms or business attire all the time anyway, and they'll recognize the purpose of it then. But when you're a kid or a teenager? Christ al-f*cking-mighty, let them wear what they want as long as it isn't a distraction to others (e.g. teenage girls wearing just a bikini to school or something like that).

That said, unless they were doing this to highlight the nature of a stupid policy about dress codes, they really don't have any right to complain about getting in trouble. Follow the rules or get in trouble. If you want to change the rule, that's one thing - then it serves an actual purpose. If you just want to show off for whatever reason, you're an idiot.

Whoa, back off there Hoss, we should never deny the fine young women of America the opportunity right to wear bikinis.

You know they are hillbillies because it's all about "pride". They can't just be fans, the football team justifies their miserable existence.

He said, "What were you suspended for, kid?" And I said, "Wearing a Steelers jersey." And they all moved away from me on the bench there, and the hairy eyeball and all kinds of mean nasty things, till I said, "And inciting a riot."

I'm not saying I wouldn't get a thrill out of it myself (in fact, I spend many a spring and summer day out by public pools admiring teenage girls in their bikinis through my camera lens). I'm just saying that from a school policy standpoint that would be a rationale against such an outfit.

The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me.

It's not so much the suspension as the reasoning. Inciting a riot should be reserved for such actions as say....inciting a riot, not wearing unapproved shirts.

Walker: Wearing Steelers clothes is considered a "senior prank"?

Folks, back in my day a senior prank was releasing a bunch of mice in the hallways right when the bell rings and the hallways are jam packed with students, or painting a giant penis on the smoke stake (both of these were done at my high school). But in these politically correct precious snowflake times wearing a Steelers jersey is somehow considered a "prank". That word, it does not mean what you think it does.

This. It took me about half the article to realize this wasn't a school in Wisconsin.

Yeah, I came in here to say that.

"Okay guys, you've had your fun, now change back into your regular clothes."

"No."

THAT'S a suspendin'

This is a school, not a place of business. This was not zero tolerance, there were 30 students busted, 20 changed back and were not punished. Your made up statistic is also a logical fallacy.

"I am suspended because I was participating in a riot and I was yelling and screaming in the hallways," Shalyce Blankenship said.

Once you find out the supposed 3 minutes of just wearing a jersey somehow involved running and yelling in the hallway long enough to have had several peers change back in to other clothes it starts to seem like perhaps the kids were jackasses.

Well yeah but a headline of "Students suspended for yelling and screaming in the hallways while refusing to honor the dress code after being given fair warning" doesn't garner as many page views.

Perhaps you'd be right if that's what they were suspended for. Instead of dress code violations and insubordination.

Pretty much: I think every workplace here in Madison allowed their employees to wear a jersey if they wished.

That said, is there a public school administrator somewhere in this nation that isn't a completely useless piece of shiat?

Yep. because the only real crime in America, is letting a worthless, brainless, useless dickhole know that their "authority" is a joke.

Eat shiat, you pathetic loser.
