New York Schools Ban Controversial Clothing Brand for Promoting Delinquency

los angeles, California, July 8, 2015 (Newswire.com) - - The New York City Department of Education banned on the school premises a controversial street-wear brand, Virginal Flow, that is wildly popular among what they described as the "delinquent" segment of its student body, causing a firestorm of resistance and counter-actions.

School officials noticed "an alarming trend" among a certain segment of the student population, whom they labeled as "delinquent" and "troublesome", to wear clothing items with a sexually explicit logo and a suggestive name, Virginal Flow. The logo features a naked body of a woman in a sexually suggestive position, and the school officials feared that the adoption of the brand by the delinquent but influential students would soon spread to other, bigger portion of the student body.

The students who favor Virginal Flow protested the ban by spray painting and wheat-gluing the logo across the city. The students also defended their choice of clothing on the basis of freedom of expression and gender self-assertion, vowing to continue defying what they view as a conservative agenda.

The New York City Department of Education declined further comments.
