Some Texas middle school has gone full commie, deciding that its students can't wear all-black like those weird emo kids. Principal Nick DeSantis of Charles Middle School in El Paso announced the new dress code, citing concerns over mental health and probably also Satanism.

Making students wear a different color isn't going to magically change them.

Some snowflake parent, Alexis Contreras, said this, totally missing the point that black clothes equals depression and getting rid of them will magically make her kid happy.

Another parent, Fabiola Flores, is butthurt because she already bought black pants for her kid and now has to buy new ones. Maybe she should've waited for the school year to start, like a smart person.

The El Paso Teachers Association tried to clarify, saying students can still wear black and that the policy only applies to kids wearing black from head to toe, like little ninjas or something. They also said the policy was made to ensure physical and mental safety, which makes sense because black clothes are freaky.

The El Paso Independent School District tried to play it cool, saying the policy was made to "enhance students' well-being and sense of pride" and that it was carefully considered by a bunch of parents and teachers. They also said it was a response to concerns brought forward by stakeholders, which just means they caved to the whiners.

Superintendent Diana Sayavedra also tried to sound smart, saying the policy is a chance to "foster healthy engagement" and "strengthen collaboration." Whatever that means.

In the end, the school put the policy on hold because of all the snowflakes complaining. So, for now, the emo kids of El Paso can keep dressing like little goths while the adults try to figure out how to make them wear happier colors. Sad!
