Jerry Herron, professor of English and American Studies, comments about dress codes for students at local K-12 schools. \"We have a culture that teaches young people that they should dress in a certain way to be accepted, and then we have a school code that says sorry you can\'t dress that way. The two are in fundamental conflict,\" Herron says. And he doesn\'t expect that gap to close anytime soon, especially at school, where students go to learn.
