When I looked at the title, I thought it was something about trading Jason Kidd to the Rockets.

Houston ISD have much more pressing issues. It is nice to see they are spending their time punishing kids with Rockets logos on their heads.

It's "The New Freedom" which is currently on display at any government indoctrination center known as public school.

The New Freedom is gayer than the pink Celica T230 I saw coming home from work.

i think this is the same school with the swine flu issues.

the teacher must be a spurs fan or something.

POS teacher.

I went by an elementary school yesterday where this former RPD used to work at, and the new PE teacher was wearing a Shane Battier Jersey.

How come they didn't send her home.

Those things are kind of iffy. I don't seen distractions in most of those things. In fact, when I was in middle school, most kids were wearing the stuff above, like Cut-off/torn jeans, baggy pants, strapless tops, and there was even this chick who had piercings everywhere (on her nose, tongue, chin, nips and labia) . . . it wasn't really distraction at all, except for maybe 2 minutes on the first day of class. The sweat pants, overalls, and gym clothes .... IDK what the deal is with that.

Students who forget their badge at home must purchase a temporary badge in the cafeteria before school for $1.00.

Students who fail to purchase a temporary badge before school will be assigned a detention.
*

Students who are repeatedly in violation of the school ID Badge policy may face more severe disciplinary action up to a suspension.

So public school wants to be the new DMV office. We were required to have student IDs, but if we didn't have them...we just weren't allowed to check out books and buy certain things in school store. Being threatened for suspension is the most ridiculous thing I've heard for not having an ID...so basically that's like getting into a fight or cursing at the teacher.

If he had put the Lakers logo, #24, #23, or LBJ on his head, it wouldn't have been on the news. Because, the kid wouldn't have been suspended.

Precisely why my son will be home schooled. Can't really complain about the schools though I guess all of American has changed not just the schools.

You do know home-schooled kids are all useless cyborgs that lack social skills and sunlight though?

The Houston Rockets logo shaved into forward Ron Artest’s hair may pass the NBA’s dress code, but he shouldn’t bother showing up at Hamilton Middle School in the Heights with anything written on his head.

Twelve-year-old Angel Garza learned that the hard way this week when he arrived at Houston ISD’s Hamilton sporting an Artest-like coiffure. Administrators told him not to come back until the logo was gone, said Garza’s mother, Dalila Mata.

“It was shocking,” Mata said. “It’s not a gang symbol or anything like that.”

Norm Uhl, an HISD spokesman, said student-privacy rules kept him from commenting on the case. But he provided a copy of Hamilton’s dress code, which forbids “hair designs.” What is allowed: “Any hairstyle that is neat and clean.” (Read the entire dress code at Hamilton Middle.)

Mata and her husband, Mike, who also is sporting the logo (plus an Artest-inspired mohawk), allowed Angel to stay home Wednesday and planned to let him skip today, when the Rockets host the Los Angeles Lakers for what could be their final game of the season.

Hamilton’s policy says students who violate the dress code get in-school suspension if they can’t fix the problem immediately. Frequent violators face full suspension.

Angel said he sees other boys at school with long hair and ponytails. “My friends have different hair styles and the teachers allow that, but they can’t allow mine?” he asked.

If the Rockets lose Thursday night, Angel said, he has some ideas for a new 'do.

“I might put other logos, like for the Astros and the Texans,” he said.

WOW. First they ban religion in public schools (freedom of religion, right?), then they ban the Rockets....I thought this was a free country? Freakin' fascist mofo's.

I think it's easier to teach someone social skills than to unteach being a complete disaster of a human being.
