[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child came home yesterday and told us this new procedure (they have not yet implemented/starting using the metal detectors yet):

- Students will need to remove backpacks and take out laptops, phones, watches, etc before walking through
- Students will need to remove jewelry before walking through

They were told it will take 25-30 minutes for the entire student body (this is a MS) to enter the building, so he was told they might open the doors earlier. This seems a little crazy to me. [/quote]

So girls with body jewelry are going to have to take off clothing to go through the detectors?[/quote]

Or not wear body jewelry.[/quote]

Look, I am not a fan of body jewelry, especially on teens, but some body jewelry is cultural,  and the cultures where women wear body jewelry are from very conservative religious and cultural traditions where a girl flashing her belly to her male principal and entire student body is a religious offense

Having to remove jewely is ridiculous.  I can see having to remove giant gold chains like some music artists wear (although ai don't think that is a fashion look for many fcps students)  but earrings and small body piercings? That is unbelievably intrusive.[/quote]
