Texas School's Ban on All-Black Outfits Faces Backlash

Charles Middle School's dress code change, aimed at addressing mental health concerns, is criticized by parents and community members.

  • The school prohibited all-black outfits, linking them to depression and criminality.
  • Parents and community members argue the policy doesn't address underlying mental health issues.
  • Miscommunication between the school and district led to premature implementation of the dress code.
  • Students can still wear black shorts for PE and on designated free dress days.
  • The policy is currently on hold as the district reviews community feedback.
