i have the right to wear what i want, dont i?!?! Options

[TWiSTED STARS]

i have been having some problems at school. with the dress code and stuff.

the other day i was wearing a black shirt with julius the monkey breaking a guitar on it to school, and i got called to the principles office, and was told that it was a VERY innapropriate shirt becasue it will be giving people ideas of vandalism and its black. and i asked her (the principal) "its black, so?" and she said if you wear a black shirt, you are gothic. she labeld me. wt f? oh and i got an hour worth of detention, just for wearing a black shirt.

and another time i was wearing a wristband that had the blink182 smiley on it. and the principal said it promotes "ganster" stuff. ha ha. she says that i must belong to some gang. i said, no. but she insisted that i did belong to some kind of gang.

i was also wearing shorts that says dance on the butt for p.e., and i got detention for that because it was "innapropriate" i asked the principal why and she said that shorts saying dance on the butt are promoting sex. i wonder, how do those promote sex?!?!?!

now we have a new dress code rule (well its not official but its an idea thats up in the air) that we can not wear all black clothes because you will be "gothic", we cant wear wristbands or head bands because they are "gangster-like", we cant wear skirts because they make a girl look "cheap".... and so on.

what do you guys think of that? i mean, just because i wear certain stuff it doesnt mean i belong to a certain group or belive in something.. am i correct?

i think some teachers are just sooooo wiered.

and i think i have the right to wear what i want to wear... and not be labeled..... right?

i need some opinions...

whoaa. well, do you go to a private school?

i went to a private lutheran school from 3rd-8th grade. we didn't have uniforms, but we had a stict dress code. we couldn't wear bottoms with writing on the butt as well. and there were things about not wearing pants that dragged on the floor. no ripped jeans, spaghetti straps (the sleeves had to be 4 fingers wide), couldn't wear band shirts, skirts had to reach your finger tips, all that stuff. they updated the dress code every year to accommodate the changing styles. so it got frustrating.

but now i go to a public high school and the dress codes are almost the same. skirts have to be mid-thigh, no spaghetti straps, no mid-drifts showing... etc.
