These guys came to school in flagrant violation of the school's Dress Code and looking for attention - a chance to be the 'cool' guys of the moment among their peers - and when they got the attention they were seeking and became a distractor to the learning process (which further violated the school's code) and then refused to compromise, they recceived a bit more attention than they had anticipated. Such is life.

IMO - the school could have handled it better but the kids were not entirely innocent in this 'mole hill' of a non-affair, either.

Anybody who has ever had to deal wth such issues as either a school administrator or teacher would understand.

I wonder which parent called the local news.

And so it goes...
