School has a dress code. Only khaki pants and polo shirts allowed. No logos or messages allowed. No t-shirts. Not a hard thing to remember, right??

Except for one parent who believes the school is being unfair and "targeting religion" because the school won't allow her daughter to wear Christian-themed t-shirts to school.

Mother: Dress Code Unfairly Targets Religion

"The mother of a student who was suspended for violating her school system's dress code says the rules unfairly target religion, WRTV in Indianapolis reported.

Tracy Prochnow said Highland High School in Indiana suspended her daughter, Brittany Brown, on Monday because the junior wore a Christian-themed T-shirt.

Monday was the fourth time Brittany violated the code, which the city's school board implemented this year and requires students to wear khakis and polo shirts.

Prochnow said the school may be violating her daughter's rights, and she has asked the school board to change the code."


This isn't about religion or anything like that, it's a parent and student thinking the rules don't apply to them, and using religion as an excuse. (another article mentions the mom wants "a “win-win” solution for the uniform situation: a provision in the uniform policy that allows parents to have the option of letting their kids not wear them.")
