This is a follow-up to the story, but it'll do as a link

A kindergartener in Oklahoma violated dress code by wearing a University of Michigan shirt. Apparently the dress code -which bans clothing supporting all professional sports teams and all college teams EXCEPT those of Oklahoma colleges was introduced to stop gang behaviour.

Hm.

Here in Ann Arbor, MI, home of the University of Michigan, gang behaviour is most likely to erupt when you wear a shirt supporting any other Michigan colleges, most notably Michigan State in Lansing. You wear an Oklahoma shirt -no-one gives a fuck. (Ohio would cause you problems, but that's about it for out-of-state, excepting oppo shirts on game days) So how does allowing OK colleges only help with this problem? Or do they only have one in the entire state?

And..... isn't is beneficial to encourage kids to go away for college and then bring their experience back? Are they worried they won't return? Is it the only way to fill their colleges? Or is it just an extension of the "keeping it in the family" I've heard is so popular in some of the more southern states?
