Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
Why can a high school dictate what hair styles their students can wear? What an incredibly weird and arbitrary rule.
Was Foucault right all along?
This is pretty standard in America tbh
Yeah, oppressive dress codes are the norm. It mostly targets girls and minorities - Girls get harassed for basically everything, especially length of skirts, makeup, jewelry, visible bra straps (RAEG), while minorities get harassed for anything that distinguishes them from whites. It's not universal by any means, there are school districts that are chill, but there are also lots that are absolute shitheads.
That's the issue with the fragmented authoritarianism that comes with American style federalism. Combined with how schools are run pseudo-democratically with a sizable and energized fascist voter base and even your cool, chill school districts can suddenly become extremely reactionary! Fun!
I'm not american so I had no idea this was a thing. It sounds completely absurd to me, what a strange country
The hair style aspect does scream private school to me since those were the only schools I remember having rules about hair. We had dress codes for public school but nothing ever about hair. But I wasn't in the south so I have no clue what they get up to there
General dress codes I can understand to some extent. You can at least change out of that when you get home, but you can't grow out your hair every afternoon.
