School tried to ban all black attire over mental-health concerns. Now it’s on hold

(USA TODAY) – An El Paso, Texas, middle school is facing some criticism after officials announced a new dress code policy that bars students from wearing all-black “from head to toe,” pointing to concerns over mental health.

The decision was announced by Charles Middle School Principal Nick DeSantis ahead of the school year which kicked off on Monday. The letter mentioned the school is prohibiting all-black attire due to its association “with depression and mental health issues and/ or criminality,” KFOX-TV and CBS4 reported.

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
