Brickbat: Double Secret Rules

In Michigan, officials at Lakeview Middle School decided they were not going to allow students to wear T-shirts honoring  a classmate who had just died after a battle with cancer. But they did not inform students or parents of their decision. So at least a dozen students showed up for school wearing those shirts only to have administrators tell them to changes clothes, turn the shirts inside out or put tape over the classmate's name. After an outpouring of criticism by students and parents, administrators said they would allow students to wear the shirts.
