I went to a Catholic high school for one year until the price got too high. The point is they had a strict dress code. Polo shirts with the name of the school embroidered in or v-neck sweaters and no jeans. I don't remember any footwear policy, however.

Twelve states, including Georgia and Florida have just banned the popular foot wear Crocs in some school districts! How dare you.

If you have children in school and they're of the age to walk, they or someone they know have these cultural phenomenon of a shoe.

Crocs

Theses shoes hit stores in 2002 and have gained popularity ever since. So why are some school districts banning them?

Many might think the No. 1 reason school districts in these states, which include Georgia and Florida, are banning Crocs, is because of “distractions” such as Jibbitz, which are the small, decorative charms pinned to the shoe. -pennlive.com

Could Croc sales go down?
