A Philadelphia high school has banned UGG boots after kids started using them to hide contraband items (like cell phones).  Let the controversy begin…

“Seriously, if you told my child not to wear her Uggs, we would definitely have a court case here,” Kim Colucci Hritz posted on the Facebook page of The Mercury, the local newspaper, one of many posts opposing the ban. “My children do not go anywhere without their phones; too many pervs out there!! Have you read the paper lately?”

 But another mother, Adrienne Beyer, said that though she found the ban to be extreme, her 12-year-old daughter would abide by it.

 “I said to my daughter, ‘It’s a rule and we’re going to follow it,’” she said.

To the mother freaking out: The school doesn’t want cell phones on kids DURING SCHOOL HOURS!

Your children can leave them in their lockers, they don’t need them during class time. It’s not a ban on kids being safe, it’s a ban on them bringing things they shouldn’t be bringing to class.

Plus they could be hiding dangerous things(example: knifes) in those boots. If you’re so damn worried about their safety outside of school, you should be worried about their safety inside the school too.

Man, in prison people hide all sorts of dangerous things in their poopers. They should just ban butts in prison! Problem solved.

Hey I live near this highschool.

It’s actually illegal to have a phone in school anyways and you can get fined for it.

Of course no teacher is that hatred of their students to report it. But they could

A lot of people i know hide pencils and their phone in their boots, but this ban IS a little bit much. Or maybe the school board just doesn’t like ugly fads. Maybe even both.
