SICKLERVILLE, N.J. (AP) — An 8-year-old girl received a one-day suspension from her southern New Jersey public elementary school for wearing a shirt that was the wrong shade of green.
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."
