Atlanta Journal-Constitution - Tired of school uniforms, more than 1,500 Clayton County high school students came to school on Friday in what school officials called "non-appropriate dress."
Now the students are facing suspensions, detentions and other punishments. . .
The students at the county's nine high schools organized online by sending messages urging their friends to "buck the system," White said.
The uniform boycott, called "Protest As One," was also discussed among 782 members of a public Facebook group called "Clayton County high school students against required uniforms."
One student organizer wrote, "they can't suspend you all and you will be making a stand for yourself.". . .
Last school year, Clayton ordered all elementary and middle school students to wear uniform dress, including khaki pants, skirts, polo shirts and sweaters of the same color. This year, the policy spread to the district's nine high schools.
