Every time we have a day at school were we're aloud to wear what we want, as
opposed to the school uniform (usually everyone who chooses to do this has to
bring a dollar or something and it goes towards charity) *SOMEONE* will wear
hemp clothing and our school coordinator will go psycho, but it's the same
if any male has long hair or if any male wears jewellery, or any female gets
"excessive" with it.  It's becuase they've got a percieved image that our
parents don't want us to go to school with people who dress themselves like
this.  Once when I got given a detention for wearing a T Shirt that had a
picture of one of my favourite bands which contained "naughty" words (like
666 and antichrist) I asked why it was so inappropriate.  The response, was,
"What a stupid question!".
