MORBEGNO ITALY Students at a high school near Milan were coming to class in old blue jeans with holes in the knees Some of them had wild pink hair and nose rings The principal Mr Magon was not at all happy He did not want students to wear uniforms but he wanted to bring some order to the school He sent a letter home to all parents We are going to punish students he wrote who do not dress suitably
The parents met and discussed the school s letter They were angry not at their children but at the principal They warned Magon that they would take him to court Our children must be free to wear what they want at school they argued
Magon was very surprised Some clothes are not right for school I really thought that the parents would agree with me
