NJ School Implements 'No Cursing' Rule But Only for Girls

2. Their parents need to get involved.

I went to a boys high school that had gone co-Ed two years before I attended. Boys to girl ratio in my class was 4:1.

Our parents got ticked that the boys didn't have color restrictions on their uniforms but we did. So our parents got involved along with some of the younger priests and changed our dress color code. We still had to wear dress pants or skirts (knee length) and dress shirts - but we could wear any colors but neons or prints (late 80's).

It's a small victory - but a victory just the same.

If the girls get organized and get their TUITION PAYING parents involved they can make it so the boys have to take the pledge too.

BTW - swearing in my high school resulted in JUG - not a simple detention - but JUG. Don't look left, don't look right, just sit and stare for 45 minutes after school. I'm very familiar with Father' Al's "justice under god"!

And Father Al was the first person the JUG crew went to - and he went to bat for us. Along with the Dean of Men.

You don't ask - you don't get.
