Why are masks baned at school -10 points – (long description, sry)?
So my school had a spirit day where we dress up as any character from pop-culture to movies to cartoons.
I decided to be a a Jabbawockee from " Americas Best Dance Crew".
i had the shirt; the mask and gloves only cost me a couple dollars, and i knew that my character was going to be easily recognized, so i though it was a good choice.
Spirit day arrives, and a lot of people actually dressed up for the event. Everything from Poke’mon to a Star Wars Clone Trooper was at our school. The whole morning, i had people screaming "JABBAWOCKEE!" at me and asking me to do a headspin – so a lot of people got who i was.
Along comes a staff member and swipes the mask OFF MY FACE and tells me that masks are not allowed; now, keep in mind, i was walking alongside the Phantom of the Opera – who was also wearing a mask – and a storm trooper – who was wearing a full HELMET. My two friends were not confiscated of their costumes.
Now, i dont wanna be racist, but i am filipino/black and my friends are white. maybe the thought i was gang-affiliated?(the jabbawockeez do dress urban-like, but are also a frekin DANCING GROUP)
why are masks not allowed anyways?
if it was for security reasons, why was i the only one punished?
a storm trooper helmet covers the whole skull, yet their headwear was not confiscated.

The use of masks is banned because of security risk.Literally anyone could be behind the mask.But, and here’s the crunch, the rule applies across the board,not selectively, and the color of skin or ethnicity has nothing whatsoever to do with it.Speak to your parents and let them handle it with the school Board.The person involved should not have "swiped" the mask from your face, it should have been requested and the reason explained to you.That could be considered an assault.
Do speak to your parents on the issue and let them decide what to do about it.Good on you for seeking advice, but your parents know best.
I have no idea in that context.
I would say that masks in general are not aloud to be in schools is because in schools a gunman could come in a mask and shoot down the school, and they would not know who it was. It’s because if you do something wrong, they can identify who you are for the most part.
With everything else, about race, you might want to get your parents in it if the school unfairly reprimanded you. Get justice.
My school gives us this whole "We can’t identify the students in the case of an emergency" crap. But kids do it anyway though.
