Texas Mom Fights Discrimination Against Her Son In School

School dress codes have been controversial with students for years, particularly teen-agers, who often wish to define their personalities by their clothing, piercings, or what have you. This commentary from Texas A&M's Battalion supports a Texas mother in her efforts to fight an elementary school dress code which will allow girls to wear earrings, but not boys. The 5-year-old boy was suspended from school for wearing an earring to kindergarten. The author of this commentary is, perhaps, seeing things too black-and-white, but I support her overall statement that school dress codes should not discriminate between the sexes.
