><>... Hi Brightstar, ...><>

Changing the way a person appears does nothing to empty the heart of hate or anything else.

I also read some of those statistics on schools were a dress code was mandatory. Kind of laughable.

These kids in the trench coats at Columbine High would have been truant if such a mandate was in place. The ACLU is already got a committe of their wise ones working on that issue any way.

James, it's not the clothes a person wears or does not wear that is a predictor of violence. Look at some of the other members who also wore the same garb (trench coats), they were shocked at the behavior of their buddies.

It's a heck of a lot more than choice of dress.
Consider Ted Bundy...Now he was a dapper dresser.
Also, none of the other kids in the last 4 yrs. who did the same thing in their schools as these Columbine boys did, dressed out of the ordinary. They looked like the boy next door.

We can talk more on this later, have to go for now.

BTW if clothes were a predictor...that would be good, then we would have no trouble picking out the high risk kids. And dress codes would then only mask the trouble makers....Because in the final analysis clothes tell us nothing concrete!
