Four students were arrested at Churchill County High in\u00a0Fallon,\u00a0Nev.\u00a0after one of them refused to take off their bandana.\u00c2\u00a0\u00a0The school was on lockdown for over an hour, and the 17 year-old was charged with resisting arrest and assaulting an officer. The other three were arrested for interfering with a public officer.\u00c2<\/p>\n

It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hard to say how to feel about something as silly as this.\u00c2\u00a0\u00a0I went to Catholic school and experienced firsthand the type of trauma that a dress code can inflict on a young person.\u00c2\u00a0\u00a0These essential problems arise: conformity, horniness (because of the Victorian ideals concerning sex), and sweating.\u00c2\u00a0\u00a0I think it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s endearing that the kid\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s three comrades decided to go after a cop because they were hassling their buddy.\u00c2\u00a0\u00a0I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sure they felt like they were being picked on and were doing a righteous thing by standing up to authority.\u00c2\u00a0\u00a0But no righteous act was committed here because we are talking about a bandana, an accessory mind you, not even worthy of being considered clothing, merely the poor man\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s tiara (if worn upon the head).\u00c2\u00a0\u00a0It just seems trite to me to make a stink over such an issue.\u00c2\u00a0\u00a0Certainly it should never have reached the point of resisting arrest, and the school staff and police are just as much to blame for that as the kids. But in the end, the question I ask is are you really going to go to jail over a bandana?\u2013posted by Robert Shipton<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
