Fashion Anarchy

Today a student came to school wearing a gold sequins jacket, which is not allowed in our dress code. He said "Come on. It's the COOLEST, isn't it?" I said, "Yes, indeed. But if I let YOU wear that, then I have to let everyone else wear whatever THEY think is the coolest, and they don't have such good taste. We'll have fashion anarchy at school and I just can't deal with that."

Fashion anarchy is an ugly sight, indeed. Your students have no idea how fortunate they are to have you to spare them its horrors!
