<p>Frankly, if the students put up too much of a fuss, the school might just “go preppy” and define a uniform of some type…khaki pants, logo’d polo or button down shirt with tie, and blazer. </p>
<p>This is a school that is trying to defy a stereotype about young black males. It’s trying to demonstrate that the men from Morehouse are prepared for the corporate world. This is why the black families from my community want their sons in that school. They don’t want their sons do-ragging and pants-sliding (or even cross-dressing), because none of that prepares them for the corporate world (try showing up for work at a Fortune 500 company as a cross-dresser and see how far that gets you.).</p>
