Erik reflects on an ESPN story that features a high school boys basketball team that wears long pants when it plays. Unfortunately, they do so for all the wrong reasons. This one is pretty funny and sad all at the same time.
Money quote from the ESPN article:
ESPN: A basketball team wearing long pants is new to me. What’s it all about?
Principal Wayne Elliott: We’re a small Christian school, about 52 kids, and it’s just a school dress code that we have, based on our Biblical beliefs and standards. It goes back to dressing in modest apparel — that’s the dress code we set, and the kids abide by it here at the school and at all school functions.
ESPN: And that code would be “no short pants.”
WE: Correct.
ESPN: Please forgive my ignorance on this point, but is there a specific verse of the Bible that addresses this?
WE: There is, but I’d have to look it up — I don’t have it handy, but it’s definitely in Scripture.

Unreal.
I think I went to one of their sister schools when I was in 9.
IF and WHEN we touched someone of the opposite sex, we had to carry and 6 inch ruler around for a week!!
The rule was: Stay 6 inches away from the opposite sex at all times!!
I stayed home one day from school because I was sick. The Monitor came by to check on me and saw my dad mowing our lawn with his shirt off and gave me demerits for his exposed body parts!!
Those were FUN times!! ;)
