Student, parent arrested over wrong color bookbag

If there's one thing that's been a constant trend for close to 30 years, it's that American schools (like the economy) get progressively worse in almost every way.

Lawrence High School in Lawrence, Massachusetts, is run by Nazis. I find that to be a fact. In addition to its fascist uniform policy (which violates a state law that explicitly forbids mandatory uniforms), it has a bookbag policy as well. School administrators seem to have anointed themselves as art critics, for they now prohibit bookbags that are of the wrong color.

Worse, like the Hitlers they are, they call the cops when students violate this rule. Recently a 16-year-old student came to school with a multicolored bookbag. As a result, police arrested both him and his mother.

Arrested over the color of a fucking bookbag?

I'm sorry, folks, but if I was the parent, I'd march right back to school the next day and give them something to arrest me over. That school is so Nazi that it's a miracle nobody has.

As for the dress code, which regulates even the color of shoelaces, it's supported by the city's Republican Mayor Michael Sullivan. That he'd back a policy that violates state law (not to mention the First Amendment) means he's not doing his job to uphold the law.

And yes, the spittle crowd has already flooded the comment section of the Massachusetts paper with racist posts attacking uniform opponents. (I knew you'd ask whether they had.)
