Trouble in the land of the B.E.A.S.T. or.. What's your school policy on dress?

Heh, this past school year after nationals I had my orange Autodesk bandanna tied to the shoulder strap of my backpack, after a while and teachers seeing the bandanna on a few other students I was asked if it was gang related. I responded with, "If this was a gang symbol then it would be the nerdiest gang in existence. The worst thing this gang could do to you is recreate you in a 3d model and cause painful movements on your ragdoll body." All I got was as a reply was, "Oh...hmm." I was also asked every few days what the heck is Autodesk. Which began a discussion about 3d animation on the robotics team, and the standard response would be, "We have a robotics team!?"

As for our school dress code, it isn't enforced much, shirts with profanity, flip flops, short skirts, shirts with drug/violence/alcohol/gang references all go unnoticed and unpunished, yet I get asked if my shirt with the letters NPC stands for anything drug/violence/alcohol related. Closest thing I can think of to enforcing our dress code is requiring kids to take off hats. Yet then again a new year is coming and perhaps things could be different. We shall see, we shall see.
