As a teacher, I find this distracting and disturbing. I understand that students are simply trying to express themselves. However, I feel as if this is not appropriate for school purposes. What are some ways I can appropriately present this to an administrator without coming across as being close-minded? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) This really both comes down to the dress code and the administrations feelings on the subject matter. If the dress code says they can were it within reason then they are allowed to wear them if they are make a scene with them. if this truly is the cases ask your higher ups how the feel about this issues and voice your current concern and see if they have suggestions, would prefer you to just leave it there or even think of a solution for a happy medium
