Sicklerville, NJ – An 8-year-old girl received a one-day suspension from her southern New Jersey public elementary school for wearing a shirt that was the wrong shade of green.

The girl’s mother tells WTXF-TV (http://bit.ly/1MJ0vsL ) that Winslow Township Elementary School No. 4 sent her daughter home Tuesday for wearing a kelly green polo shirt, which was deemed to be in violation of the Camden County school’s dress code.
The school’s dress code specifies that shirts and blouses may only be white, dark green or navy.
Winslow Township School’s code on dress and grooming says “school attire can influence a pupil’s behavior and potentially impact the academic environment.”
Other parents have reported that their children were suspended for wearing wrong colored shirts as well.
The girl’s mother called the suspension “a little ridiculous.”
Would colorblindness be an acceptable defense?
Next time say it’s a Muslim color green and then you can be invited to the white house
What a shame of the parents for taking this story to the media!
I know exactly what’s going to grow up from this child and I give you only one guess…
SHAME ON THEM!!!
Camden is crime ridden and the code is most likely to deter use of gang colors. A bit heavy handed though
What do they do for St. Patrick’s Day?
C’mon, the mom was showing her support of Agudas Yisroel!! Their uniform didn’t used to be black and white… Originally the kids all wore KELLY green yarmulkas!!!
