TEXAS SCHOOL BANS BLACK OUTFITS, GOTHS AROUND THE WORLD UNITE

Texas school bans black clothes El Paso’s KFOX14 reported news of Charles Middle School principal Nick DeSantis (it’s always a DeSantis) sharing with parents his new policy responding to an influx of students wearing “black tops and black bottoms.”

Why? The “look”, DeSantis wrote, “has become more associated with depression and mental health issues and/or criminality than with happy and healthy kids ready to learn.” Guess he wants everyone in cute li’l sailor suits carrying a giant lollipop at all times.

Oh, but wait guys, the El Paso Independent School District says this is all a big misunderstanding and that the news leaked before receiving proper approval. “Unfortunately, the campus prematurely communicated the dress code change as a final decision rather than a recommendation.
