Tony Hatfield's Retired Ramblings

About time!

Corriere della Sera - International Principal Bans Low-slung Jeans Circular in Avezzano high school.“Jeans reveal too much, causing embarrassment to students”. Students say they will do what they feel is right The principal claims according to current sensibilities, it is wrong to cover one’s face with a burqa to ensure anonymity. It is equally wrong to flaunt one’s posterior to gain attention.That was the gist of the circular issued yesterday by Angelo Bernardini, principal of the Vitruvio Pollione scientific secondary school in Avezzano. The circular, entitled “From the Burqa to the Bare Backside”, was read by teachers to every class in the 1,600-student school, one of Italy’s largest.“
