The Dress-Code Crackdown
Across the U.S., high schools are banning low-rise jeans, midriff-baring tops, and other skimpy articles of clothing. What do you think about the fashion crackdown?
Paul Cooper,
Plumber
"What I don't get is the super-low jeans where the thong straps peek out above the waistline. Why aren't those required?"
Nelson Wollersheim,
Bond Trader
"Girls that young should not be wearing sexy outfits in school. I say dress them all in plaid skirts and knee-high stockings."
Lisa Hausherr,
Social Worker
"I think girls who violate dress codes should be suspended and picked up from school by their mothers' boyfriends."

"The way the kids dress these days, it's becoming almost impossible to tell the sluts from the regular girls."
Michael Keller,
Systems Analyst
"Thank God for Maury Povich. He's doing his part by sending all those out-of-control, too-sexy teens to boot camp."
Meredith Wakefield,
Legal Secretary
"I don't know. I think some of those crotchless hot pants they sell in the JCPenney children's department are kind of cute."
