Mich ado about nothing

When 5-year-old Cooper Barton wore a University of Michigan shirt to kindergarten in Oklahoma City, the principal asked him to turn it inside-out. Much to the surprise of his mother, the school district's dress code only allows university wear from schools in the state of Oklahoma. The dress code, adopted in 2005, was meant to deter gangs. Gangs? Gangs? I don't think a 5-year-old would even understand that. The district needs to re-evaluate this. I'd be mad if I were the kid's father. There was nothing offensive about that shirt. Sure the school board had a good reason, but I think they've taken it too far. And besides, if it was because it was a "gang" colour and he had to turn it inside-out, what colour did it become by doing that?
