Texas school requires students who violate dress code to wear prison-like jumpsuits

A school in Gonzales, Texas, has found a unique way to punish dress code violators and not everyone is happy with it.

The school forces students who violate the dress code to wear a prison-like jumpsuit for the rest of the day:

Some parents said the jumpsuits will make students feel like prisoners but the district said it's just a way to keep the children dressed appropriately for school.

A school board official said it's "worth a try" because it's a way to keep the district's conservative values intact.

Some students said the plan may backfire on the school.

"I talked to some of my friends about it and they said they are not going to obey the dress code just so they can wear the jumpsuit," high school student Jordan Meredith.

Before the jumpsuits students who didn't follow the code had to sit in the office and wait for their parents to bring them clothes or face in-school suspension.
