    The girl’s mother tells WTXF-TV (http://bit.ly/1MJ0vsL ) that Winslow Township Elementary School No. 4 sent her daughter home Tuesday for wearing a kelly green polo shirt, which was deemed to be in violation of the Camden County school’s dress code.

    The school’s dress code specifies that shirts and blouses may only be white, dark green or navy.

    Winslow Township School’s code on dress and grooming says “school attire can influence a pupil’s behavior and potentially impact the academic environment.”

    Other parents have reported that their children were suspended for wearing wrong colored shirts as well.

    The girl’s mother called the suspension “a little ridiculous.”

    Would colorblindness be an acceptable defense?

    What a shame of the parents for taking this story to the media!

    I know exactly what’s going to grow up from this child and I give you only one guess…

    Camden is crime ridden and the code is most likely to deter use of gang colors. A bit heavy handed though
