New Jersey for donning a kelly green shirt
The girl's mother told WTXF-TV that Winslow Township Elementary School Number 4 sent her daughter home last 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 behaviour and potentially impact the academic environment".
Other parents have reported that their children were suspended for wearing wrong coloured shirts as well.
The girl's mother called the suspension "a little ridiculous".
