School To Put Students In 'Prison' Jumpsuits As Punishment
GONZALES, Texas. -- A school in Texas will force students who don't follow the rules to wear prison-like jumpsuits in a controversial move this coming school year.
Gonzales High School has new navy blue jumpsuits that students will wear if they break the dress code.
Violators will be forced to wear the jumpsuit for the day, the report said.
Some parents said the jumpsuits will make students feel like prisoners but the district said it's just a way to keep the children dressed appropriately for school.
A school board official said it's "worth a try" because it's a way to keep the district's conservative values intact.
Some students said the plan may backfire on the school.
"I talked to some of my friends about it and they said they are not going to obey the dress code just so they can wear the jumpsuit," high school student Jordan Meredith.
Before the jumpsuits students who didn't follow the code had to sit in the office and wait for their parents to bring them clothes or face in-school suspension.

They can not say that school isn't a prison if they want to make them wear jumpsuits.
School appearently didn't teach you how to spell.

"the district said it's just a way to keep the children dressed appropriately for school."
...right. Jumpsuits are an appropriate dress?
"A school board official said it's "worth a try" because it's a way to keep the district's conservative values intact."
Why should the district's values take priority over the children's values?
Whatever happened to the 8th ammendment?
Oh, yeah, schools are already breaking many of it, so they must think it's no harm making the list longer...
School is already a prison.
If I lived there I'd wear what I want, when I want. I'd dare those bastards to chain me then put on the jumpsuit. Lawsuits coming your way.
Hey tammy, is this your facebook?

School is already a prison. Jumpsuits don't add much to the prison environment that anybody grades 1-12 go through every day.
this is fucking sick. if my school dare does this kind of stuff to me i will blow up their heads with a gun and sell their brains to insane scientists in eaurope.
GO AHEAD DO SOMETHING!!!!!
This makes me want to cry.
making students wear jumpsuits doesnt really help with all the lawsuits and people sueing the place...it makes it worse! SUE THEM NOW!! SUE THE MOTHER ****ERS NOW!!!!
They should sue the school. Sue those bastards.
this is good the school it's self is finally admitting that school is a prison
