Scrub Shenanigans

The basic idea of the dress code is simple. Bottoms that hang too low or stop too short, tops that show far too much skin, and slogans that pertain to risque actions are all considered taboo. This year, Dunbar has decided to enforce the preexisting dress code, despite the fact that in previous years it has seldom been followed. Along with this decision to enforce the dress code, a new policy has been adopted.

The new policy states that if a student arrives at the school in inappropriate clothing, they will be asked to wear scrubs for the remainder of the day. Little did they know, the authority figures of Dunbar have inspired the student body to start a monthly tradition, Scrub Thursday. Last week, a few seniors gathered together in an attempt to find a way to retaliate and rebel against this request placed upon us by the principals. After many ideas were tossed out the window, one brilliant mind came up with the idea of wearing scrubs every first Thursday of the month; this idea was quickly accepted.

After coming up with this idea, there was only one remaining issue at hand- how to get the rest of the student body involved. However, the solution was simple. A Facebook group was created and nearly every Dunbar student with a Facebook account was invited to join the group and partake in this rebellion. Unfortunately, only about 30 students actually played a role in the first Scrub Thursday, despite the fact that more than 200 people joined the group. Luckily, there are many more Thursdays to come and it seems that Scrub Thursday will be an eventual success.
