Banning Abercrombie


Question Posted Monday August 22 2005, 10:11 pm

Our school has banned Abercrombie from our school. They say that the shirts are too sexual and distract the "learning environment." Today a friend of mine was wearing and Abercrombie shirt that said "Will work forehand jobs" and was given a saturday detention and they made him take it off. The same thing happened to a guy wearing a shirt that had a video game controler and said "wanna play?" Yes I get that those shirts can get you in trouble but what's wronge with regular Abercrombie shirts that don't have anything to do with sex? And not to mention pants. Well, us students want to get them to let us wear Abercrombie to school again becasue not ALL their shirts are like that. WE have no idea wear to start. Any ideas?

okay.. this is a little risky, but if ur like this, then just hav all ur friends (and i mean ALL) wear abercrombie on one day (i mean the appropriet kind) and just act like nothing's wrong. the teachers can't get mad at all of you, rite? good luck, and i hope you don't get in trouble!

What you could do is get people to sign a petition which is agreements from people to agree to help you to succeed on voting something important but if you don't get enough people you will lose the petition try convincing people to sign it by telling them the importance of freewill doing things or wearing things you like to and tell them it is for a very good purpose or cause.

I would simply ask "What makes the abercrombie shirts differnt from ones that you can get at holiister, sears, jc penney or basically anywhere?" Tell them that you dont think its wrong that they ban shirts that are sexually expilcit, but that you think no matter where they come from sexually charged sayings on shirts should not be allowed, but that they should lift the ban on all abercrombie just because it is abercrombie. Also the petition thing is a good idea. Good Luck!

I think you should start out with a petition, and get as many students to sign as possible. Also try to get staff members to sign because that always helps. Send one copy to the principal and one to the super intendent of your school. Try that, and see what happens. [By the way, there should be a regulation somewhere that tells you how many signatures you need for them to consider it, etc.]

abercrombie is tight....the jeans, well atleast the ones i have, dont say abercrombie on the outside, just the inside label so i figure you can still wear those and even some other collar shirts i have dont say abercrombie newhere, so just wear the ones you can...then wear the other ones outside of school*

just be very vocal get your friends to wear it and tell them off if you get caught. Make sure to warn your parent just in case you get caught.
