School Board Approves New Uniform at Atlantic City High School

Atlantic City, NJ - The Atlantic City School Board overwhelmingly approved a new school uniform at Atlantic City High School today, which will require students to wear R.I.P. outerwear. School Board President E.Z. Watkins said students are not expected to get a new shirt every time a closer friend is killed but they are offering a silk screening elective so students can learn how to make their own shirts. Principal C.J. "Big Cheez" Twiggs said the new class will teach students valuable skills so they are able to make shirts for their friends. She suggests parents buy three R.I.P. t-shirts, two R.I.P. sweatshirts, a R.I.P. hoodie, and at least one R.I.P. jacket for the
winter to keep warm. "It's our way of honoring our dead homies," Taneesha Smith said, a fifth year senior who was wearing a "Tell me why they had to die?" t-shirt memorializing her three friends who were shot at a local drugstore last year. "I don't want nobody to forget my dawg," said 24 year old tenth grade student R.J. Miller, who was wearing a "Gone but not forgotten" R.I.P. t-shirt to remember his friend T-bone, who was gunned down last week. "He was just trying to buy some blunt. It didn't have to go down like that," he added. "The problem we're dealing with now is what students should do if they're shot while they're wearing a R.I.P. t-shirt," said Assistant Principal T.K. Greely. "Do they keep wearing that shirt or should they wear a new shirt honoring their own shooting? Nobody knows." Despite objections from one parent who moved to Atlantic City this morning, gang members test scores are on the rise with one out of every 20 students now showing up to take the test, and only one out of four students being shot prior to completing the reading section. Silk Screening teacher J.P. Higgins said he plans on unveiling a special graduation R.I.P. t-shirt which will showcase a collage of every student killed since freshman year.
