Thanks San Fran

So I was looking through the off-beat news on the AP and I came across this story...

SAN FRANCISCO - Officials in a Northern California school district might not think Tiggers are such wonderful things after agreeing to pay $95,000 in lawyers' fees to five families who sued the school over its dress code.
The parents went to court after a student was disciplined for wearing socks with the "Winnie the Pooh" cartoon character Tigger on the first day of school last year.
The district's superintendent said Thursday that the settlement money is for the plaintiffs' lawyers; the district is also on the hook to pay the lawyers it hired.
The settlement also says Redwood Middle School may no longer require students to wear only solid-color clothing.


So here is the question that I have, when did the World lose its collective mind? When I went to school there was no rule against Winnie the Pooh socks, or Superman socks, or anything even remotely close to anything a long those lines. When I was in elementary school as long as your clothes were clean, and "well maintained" everything was cool. So what happened world???????

It is not much, but who knows, I might write about the SDSU men's basketball game later, for now that is bog 1.002. Have a good day, and remember, kids laugh about 1,000 times a day, adults take 3 years to laugh that many times!
