Texas School Dist. Imposing "Prison Blues"
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,396362,00.html
GONZALES, Texas — Violating Gonzales High School's dress code is not a crime, but some of the offenders are about to start looking a lot like convicts.
Soon after classes begin Aug. 25, violators of the district's beefed-up dress code must don navy blue coveralls unless they get another set of clothes from home — or serve in-school suspension. The outfits aren't just styled like prison jumpsuits — they're actually made by Texas inmates.
"We're a conservative community, and we're just trying to make our students more reflective of that," said Larry Wehde, Gonzales Independent School District deputy superintendent.

Wow...is the school administrtor there a Apostolic Preacher in his other job?
Sounds like the church on the thread the other day, that would not let women in if were not wearing a dress.

The problem I see is it will be like a badge of honor and kids will think it's cool to wear them.

You are more than likely right. They let the kids turn their shirts inside out in Mineola if they display logos that are not of the school dist.

I am not sure about other school districts but here the parents sign an agreement about dress codes and behavior. But some still like to push the boundaries. We had a lawsuit here that was unseccessful over a boys haircut.
