July 24, 200520 yr That is not the norm, but it's enough of a concern that alot of public schools in america are starting to consider dress codes. Before I left California, because of gang violence many of the schools was already starting to enact these dress code restrictions. Especially since the WAY a person dresses can ID you as a member of a particular gang, and when two gangs have a war going on, just the way you dress can get you killed on the spot. Thankfully, this doesn't happen in the majority of the schools. It happens in enough of them to be a serious concern. Guns are the big deal around here, it's knives more than anything. Just about every redneck kid has a pocket knife and gets quite irate when you try to take them away *chuckle*. You'd think you were taking away their best friend or something the way they carry on.
