Ban on custom jean

Jeans were once prohibited for schoolchildren. In Western Australia the government prohibited schoolchildren attending state schools to wear jeans and other clothes made of customized denim. Liliana Ravlich, Australian Minister of Education considers jeans to be clothes for entertainment that is why there is no place for such clothes in schools. Mrs. Revlich said she wants schoolchildren to come to school dressed in a corresponding way so that they could concentrate on work that is waiting for them and not charge their memory with trifles like the latest fashion trends. Australian Minister of Education also thinks that the absence of school uniform distracts schoolchildren. She doesn’t want do force the children wear a tie and a blazer, however, she believes she could dignify the look of schoolchildren by prohibiting them to wear jeans.

It should also be mentioned that Australian educators are not alone in their fight against teenage wear and aspiration to ban subculture jeans. Their Italian colleagues also protest against fashionable baggy jeans, however in Italy it hasn’t yet come to governmental resolutions. ban on custom jean (c)stock.xchng.hu


Those who break the regulations would undergo special actions. Schoolchildren wearing jeans would anyway have to study, however, they won’t be able to attend sports activities. Besides, they won’t be able to go to excursions with their class and take part in any out-of-school activities.
