Hazing Made Simple

Students at Montgomery Blair High School must now wear color-coded ID cards, and not everyone is happy, the Washington Post writes. Most of the gripes relate to penalties for not wearing the ID cards. Some also argue on the school's online newspaper that the IDs are a futile attempt to thwart armed, Columbine-like incursions. Others worry that color coding allows seniors to easily identify math geeks (maroon), science nerds (virgin white) and freshmen (red).

I can almost feel the wedgie.
