Follow the Code or We’ll Put You in a Prison Suit

This is what a school in Texas is telling it’s students. If a student shows up to school not dressed according to the code.

Well, I guess it makes sense. Right? Since we have the highest prison population the chances of you being put in prison are pretty good, comparitively. You might as well get used to the suit now since, you know, obviously if you can’t follow a simple dress code, your likely to grow up and commit a crime landing you in prison. Conditioning at it’s worst.

GONZALES, Texas. — A school in Texas will force students who don’t follow the rules to wear prison-like jumpsuits in a controversial move this coming school year.

Gonzales High School has new navy blue jumpsuits that students will wear if they break the dress code.

Violators will be forced to wear the jumpsuit for the day, the report said.

Some parents said the jumpsuits will make students feel like prisoners but the district said it’s just a way to keep the children dressed appropriately for school.

A school board official said it’s “worth a try” because it’s a way to keep the district’s conservative values intact.

Some students said the plan may backfire on the school.

“I talked to some of my friends about it and they said they are not going to obey the dress code just so they can wear the jumpsuit,” high school student Jordan Meredith.

Before the jumpsuits students who didn’t follow the code had to sit in the office and wait for their parents to bring them clothes or face in-school suspension.
