Dress code bars Oklahoma City kindergartner from wearing University of Michigan T-shirt

An Oklahoma City student was forced to turn his shirt inside-out because he was wearing a University of Michigan T-shirt, violating the district’s dress code.
Fox 25 reports that the 5-year-old kindergartner violated a 2005 rule created by the Oklahoma City Public Schools banning clothing with sports team logos unless they are from Oklahoma colleges or universities. The rule, which was established due to gang affiliations some teams carry, excludes all professional teams, including the Oklahoma City Thunder.
"If it's not offensive, I think they should wear what they want to wear," said Shannon Barton, the student’s mother.
Several parents told Fox 25 they think the rule is ridiculous, saying it’s especially harsh at the kindergarten level due to the likelihood of gang activity at that age.
