School District Bans Mouth Jewelry

Ho-hum. We posted this way back in February of 2005. Gold, diamond, and SPINNER teeth. Those whacky teens:
"Really, a grill is just like an earring. It's fashion," said Sam Houston junior Devonte Wright, 16.
Amen, Devonte. Amen.
"If they bought it, they should be able to wear it," said Sam Houston senior LaVeda Antwine, 17.
Preach on, LaVeda!

Leave it to some mean, crusty old administrator to lay down the law:
"We want to instill in them a sense of modesty and a sense of community," said school board trustee Gloria Pena. "We're preparing them for the work force, and in the work force there are rules."
Yes, there are. Such as: you must wear your name tag at all times while serving fresh, hot, tasty food.
