Set Up
They didn’t see it coming, though it
was as big as a freight train. Its light
could be seen two weeks ago at the ad
visory committee meeting and its whis
tle was loud and clear when the en
tourage filed in to the meeting room
Monday night.
But the school board still couldn’t see
the oncoming locomotive and it now
looks like we’re all about to be run
over.
Heather Ennis doesn’t look like a
steam locomotive. She’s a very plea
sant young teenager, an articulate
speaker, well organized and
determined.
And she wants to wear a hat. School
board policy prohibits the wearing of hats in school, period. Heather ask
ed to have that changed and they said ‘no’.
Heather’s appeal started when she actually did wear a hat and was told
by her teacher to remove it. She appealed to the building principal who
said ‘no.’ Her case was considered by the advisory committee who said
‘no.’ And Monday night the school board said ‘no.’
It’s called exhaustion of remedies. You see. Heather is no dummy.
Because of her education, not all of which she got in Morrow County
Schools, Heather was smart enough to pursue the issue as far as she could
within the school system. And she did a good job of that too—she was sup
ported by a petition signed by 113 of her 174 classmates and a survey of
parents.
But best of all she couched her appeal on constitutional grounds. She
argued that a person's wearing apparel is a matter of selt-expression, a
form of communication that is protected by the First Amendment. Heather
knows that freedom of speech is not limited to “ speech” as one board
member retorted. It includes all manner of nonverbal communication in
cluding the burning of an American flag. If you don’t think hats “ com
municate” just check out all the baseball caps on men’s heads.
One board member wanted to know if her hat had any “ function” like
“ covering a bald spot," and another was of the opinion that hats shouldn't
be worn indoors, Emily Post, Amy Vanderbuilt and Miss Manners
notwithstanding.
No one seriously considered the constitutional issue.
Now that Heather’s administrative remedies are exhausted, she could
let the matter drop. She tried and no one seriously considered the issue,
but that’s all she can do within the school system.
However, Stevie Remington, the soft spoken grandmother type who
heads the Oregon Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union has lec
tured many times on the repressive nature of school dress codes and how
many of them are infirm by constitutional standards.
The Morrow County School District may well hear from the ACLU.
And then they will realize they’ve been set up. They put off who they
thought was mere 8th grader. But they didn’t have equal benefit of counsel
and, if they don’t promptly reconsider, our money will go to a legal defense
firm, all for naught. I think she will prevail.
I don’t think wearing hats in school is any different than other kind of
wearing apparel. Slashed jeans and printed tee-shirts are permitted. Short
skirts and low cut blouses are permitted. All within reason. Really badly
slashed jeans and printed tee-shirts that advertise beer are not. Skirts that
are too short and blouses that are too low are not. The standard is not
whether a particular kind of clothing has the potential to disrupt classes,
but whether a particular item does, in fact, disrupt classes.
Teachers and administrators deal with that every day. And constitutional
law supports them.
