POTOMAC, Md. - Students at one Montgomery County high school had to abide by a new dress code beginning Monday. It was the first day for the new rules at Winston Churchill High School in Potomac. A fight last week led Principal Joan Benz to institute a new rule prohibiting hats and other head coverings. The fight that was said to involve gang members (жирный шрифт мой).

Другой источник: Effective Jan. 8, students at Winston Churchill High School will be barred from wearing bandanas, hooded clothing, do-rags, skull caps, flags and any other article of clothing associated with gangs. Principal Joan Benz initiated the policy after a Jan. 3 brawl at the school on Gainsborough Road left a school security guard injured and five students arrested.

Для читателей, незнакомых с экономической географией Мериленда: юмор истории в том, что город Потомак (почтовый индекс 20854) -- с большим отрывом самое богатое место в Мериленде, и недалеко ушел от первых мест по стране.

P.S. Еще статья, в Вашингтонском Посте: many Churchill parents were talking about the fact that the kids in the fight were black, as are only 6 percent of the school's students. The principal, trying to address that chatter head-on, stumbled over the murky, contradictory rules that govern language in our oh-so-sensitive times.
