Welcome back everyone - todays video is a follow up to a previous one we did a while
ago that you guys seemed to love.
Most of you are either at school or have been to school at some point - you know what its
like to have things banned but some of the items on this list take things a little too
far.
My name is Danny Burke this is the top 10 shocking school bans part 2!
Starting off at number 10 now we have Toilet Doors.
In 2012, a school in Texas removed the doors to its bathroom stalls in order to keep kids
safe.
McKnney North Highschool caused a lot of outrage from students and parents with many of them
feeling the true reason for the ban on doors was because of illicit sexual behaviour.
One high school student said theyve walked into the bathroom and seen girls in the bathroom
with guys but the school denies it was for this reason.
They said it was specifically to do with bullying and students fighting in the cubicles.
Do you believe them?
If you do, do you think thats a fair reason to remove the privacy that a cubicle door
provides?
Next up at number 9 we have The Word Meep.
In 2009, the principal of Danvers High School in Massachusetts banned the word meep - made
famous by Beaker who is one of the muppets.
According to the story, students were -meeping- in disruptive ways at school.
Teachers were unable to get them to stop and so they felt it was necessary to ban the word
all together.
The principal said to the media -It has nothing to do with the word, it has to do with the
conduct of the students, we wouldnt just ban a word just to ban a word- … some people
agreed that this was a necessary thing to do while others said the principal took it
too far when he started forwarded emails he had been sent containing the word meep to
the police.
I can only imagine making the word meep borderline illegal to highschool students probably had
the opposite of the desired effect …
Next up at number 8 we have Skinny Jeans.
In 2009, Kimbrough Middle School in Texas announced they would be cracking down on what
was a new trend at the time - wearing skinny jeans.
Seth Chamlee was a student who turned up to school wearing skinny jeans - the teachers
gave him a choice, go home or wear something provided by the school.
He went home - and his parents kept him there, deciding instead to home school him.
The school said the jeans were too tight and that it was disruptive when he sat down.
I mean, this one is hilarious but in the years since then, more and more schools around the
world have done similar things.
Do you think its fair to enforce certain dress codes or are schools always behind the times?
Next up at number 7 we have Being On Social Media.
For this one, you may think Im referring to a student being on social media at school
- no, I mean they were banned from simply having an account at all.
This story comes from the Pope John the 23rd Regional High School in New Jersey.
In 2005, the Reverend there held an assembly in which he told students they would have
to dismantle their personal pages on sites such as myspace and other blogs or face suspension
from the school.
He said he was doing this to protect students from online sexual predators who may use the
sites to gain personal information and pictures from the children.
If this was the real reason then I guess its nice that he thought to protect them - but
its a totally mental way to do it in this day and age.
What would you guys do if your school told you to not access social media, even at home?
Moving on to number 6 now we have Halloween.
In 2013, parents of students across Pennsylvania were angry at what they saw as a ban on Halloween
in schools there.
Local School Districts had decided children would no longer be allowed to dress up in
halloween costume in Halloween fell on a school day.
Many parents felt it was a worrying trend of schools trying to strip education of any
fun.
Sue Dimoff, whose grandchildren attended Sporting Hill Elementary School, was quoted at the
time as saying -Im really upset, they want to change Christmas, Halloween, theres no
Valentines Day parties - its ridiculous- … I grew up in the UK where we never dressed up
for Halloween anyway, Id be interested to hear some of our American viewers opinions
on this …
Next up at number 5 we have Evolution.
In 2009 - Smith-Cotton High Schools marching band started selling these T shirts.
The shirt says Tiger Pride Marching Band - Brass Evolutions 2009 - and weve got the famous
image known as the ascent of man where each of them is holding a brass instrument.
Well, some religious parents didnt like that and complained to say the mention of evolution
offended them.
The school seemed to agree with them and ended up buying every shirt for 700 dollars just
to keep them out of the school.
This caused a lot of outrage because many people felt this was silencing established
science and had nothing to do with religious sensitivity.
At number 4 now we have Flaming Hot Cheetos.
In 2012, several schools in California, New Mexico and Illinois banned Flamin Hot Cheetos
and began confiscating them on sight.
The schools were trying to combat what they saw as a worrying trend when it came to student
obsession with the snack.
One senior was quoted as saying -8 out of 10 kids bring them to school - I used to be
one of them - I ate them every day, even for breakfast and I got really big.
There were days when if my mother didnt buy them for me I would get so mad - it took me
3 months to quit- … do you guys think this is a positive step for the schools to make
regarding their students health?
Or is totally pointless to ban just one specific brand?
Moving on to number 3 now we have Books.
If theres one place you don't expect books to be banned, its a library.
If theres a second place, its probably a school.
Many schools have banned certain books from being on their premises based on their content.
There are ridiculous ones such as a Harry Potter which some say promotes witchcraft
and dark magic.
Theres ironic ones such as Animal Farm and Fahrenheit 451 - and then theres ones that
are still being fiercely debated today such as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry
Finn.
Those books were written when slavery was legal in the US - some see them as important
historic texts to learn from but others feel the content is too racist for students.
Next up at number 2 we have Fathers Day Cards.
Schools in Scotland made the headlines in 2008 when they banned students making Fathers
Day cards for fear of embarrassing classmates who live with single mothers or lesbian parents.
Family rights campaigners condemned the policy as absurd and argued that it marginalises
fathers - local authorities responded by saying they need to reflect the changing pattern
of family life.
What got people even more angry was that Mothers Day card making was still permitted, leaving
many to question the double standard.
And finally at number 1 we have Cartwheels and Handstands.
A school in western Australia got a lot of flak for banning its students from doing cartwheels
and handstands because they were too dangerous.
Bunbury Primary school say that at least 2 students a day were coming to the office with
injuries to their wrists.
School Principal Shane Dougherty said -This is not about stopping kids from taking risks
and having fun but attempting things like flips or handstands on sloping grassed areas
without learning how to do it properly is never a good idea- … do you think thats
fair because children do sometimes hurt themselves or is it way over the top?
