Students banned from wearing scarves

When it's almost December, upstate New York may be one of the last places in America you'd want to go without a scarf.

But at a high school in rural Orange County, students are now banned from wearing neckwear such as scarves because the principal thinks scarves are a gang symbol.

Students protested the decree by wearing scarves, and were punished harshly.

Scarves became popular there for staying warm after the school previously banned jackets.

Talk about a school being out of step with reality! The principal must not have been alive yet back in the disco era when people wore scarves even when it was warm outside. (And you notice people got sick a lot less back then too.)
