Some Students Embarrassed By Dress Code T-Shirts
T-Shirts Not Sanctioned By School District

A controversy is brewing at Jefferson County's Green Mountain High School over a T-shirt, reported KMGH-TV in Denver.
The shirt at the center of the debate is one students are asked to wear if they fail to follow the school's dress code.
The shirt reads "Dress Code Violation" on the front and has the school's dress code policy listed on the back.
The aunt of one student who got in trouble calls the enforcement humiliating and wrong.
She complained and the principal said students can wear the T-shirts inside out if they choose.
But some students are making their own statements.
"I don't really think they're getting the point across, because then you see girls wearing the shirts and they're rolling the shirts up, rolling the sleeves up, to show their stomachs. So, it's really not doing anything, it seems like," said student Annie Klane.
Jefferson County School's superintendent told the television station that while she supports Green Mountain's new principal, the T-shirts are not sanctioned by the district and no student is required to wear them with the lettering on the outside.
