I'm glad those uptight school district officials had to cough up $95,000 for their stupidity. Makes me think I need to be wearing more colorful socks to see if I can earn some extra cash....
Suit Over Socks Costs School $95,000
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Officials in a Northern California school district might not think Tiggers are such wonderful things after agreeing to pay $95,000 in lawyers' fees to five families who sued the school over its dress code.
The parents went to court after a student was disciplined for wearing socks with the "Winnie the Pooh" cartoon character Tigger on the first day of school last year.
The district's superintendent said Thursday that the settlement money is for the plaintiffs' lawyers; the district is also on the hook to pay the lawyers it hired.
The settlement also says Redwood Middle School may no longer require students to wear only solid-color clothing.
