will this hold up in court? I understand the reasoning, kind of, but you really can't legislate taste can you?

Honestly. Why would these cause problems? The bandana's and colors I can understand. But who gives a F if you want your teeth or ears to look funny.

I have both, BTW.

But students said the body modification is simply self-expression.
"Really, a grill is just like an earring. It's fashion," said junior Devonte Wright, 16.
If you can't find another way of "self expression" aside from stretching your earlobes and putting **** on your teeth, perhaps you don't have anything worth expressing to begin with.

I had to tell some little punk to STFU at a movie a couple week ago and he had grillz in. My biggest concern was that I was going to have to elbow him in the mouth and that those fakking things would get stuck in my arm. :D

because in a school setting the courts have held that you don't have as broad a range in your "freedom of expression"

the schools have already (smartly) couch their reasoning behind safety. As long as they apply it evenly to all students (basically a uniform modification) they should be able to prevail.

gotcha. When I was a small lad matriculating at Grand Ave Elementary I had some silver caps on my teef that the Dentist put there. They were in the back but were there nonetheless. I guess with anything school related a note from the Doctor should work in situations like that?

When grillz are outlawed, only outlaws will have grillz.

How bout an African-American males name ******!!

Another classic example of history continously repeating itself. Another older generation who is confused and "out of the loop" w/ todays trends and fashions trying to regulate a much younger and more urban generation. Umm... where have i seen and heard this before... :rolleyes:

every school district should just go to uniforms and they wouldn't have to worry about this crap.

I think we should just get rid of schools so we can have many many uneducated poor people with nothing better to do than commit crime.

yeah, then when you walked into the school they'd have a "beware of kancho" sign on the door...
