As if enough hasn't been said...

As if enough hasn't been said, I will be sharing my opinion on the plague of Deerfield High School. Class colors during homecoming week is a big deal at DHS. Freshmen wear white. Sophomores grey. Juniors red. And seniors black. Class colors are worn on the friday of homecoming week.
This year, our school decided that class colors were no more. Homecoming friday was now "red and grey" and my peers weren't happy. The topic consumed my class discussions. I have heard so many opinions on the issue that i want to pull my hair out. Senior claimed that their First Amendment rights were being violated because the school said that homecoming friday was red and grey day. There was such a commotion of this that enough people wined that they made class colors day earlier in the week. This is great, right? Apparently not. Everyone continued complaining! Why? I couldn't tell you.
I have heard both sides of the argument: "Class colors shouldn't happen because it singles freshmen out and they will get hazed." "Class colors is a right of passage and when I was a freshmen, nothing happened to me…"
Personally, I see validity on both sides. While freshmen are totally singled out for class colors, I think that it is part of the high school experience. Homecoming friday remained "red and grey" day and I still saw a large amount of students wearing their respective class colors. My main concern from all of this is how we let such minuscule things control us. I almost can't believe it. I think that things should go on as  we are told because a month from now, it won't matter what color shirt you were wearing on Friday, September 28th.
