Can you remember a rule from grade school/High School that made no sense to you now? Mine--girls were forbidden to wear

32. The length of boy's hair

Late 60s, a couple of guys in our high school started a petition to present to the school board to relax hair standards for boys. They got most of the high school students, including myself, sign the petition. They respectfully presented it to the school board at their next meeting and stated their reasons for the change. After they spoke, on of the male board members, a guy with a flat top haircut, made a motion that imposed more restrictive hair standards on boys including hair cannot touch the ears of the collar of a dress shirt and no parting the hair down the middle of their head. That motion past. In an act of defiance, most guys, including myself (my hair touched the ears and just below the collar but not really long) ignored the hair rules and I don't recall any teacher enforcing it. Future school boards relaxed the standards.
