On her Y Generation blog, Yoani Sánchez says she went to enroll her son
in high school but "instead of a welcome sign" found a blackboard stating:
Regarding the uniform: Females may not wear more than one pair of
earrings. Shirts and blouses will be worn tucked in. They will not be
altered by clamps, nor cut to fit to the body, nor allowed to be higher
than the waistband of the skirt or pants. Do not remove the pockets. The
skirts should be 4 centimeters [1.5 inches] above the knee. Skirts worn
on the hips are not allowed, nor may they be discolored or have ironing
marks. Pants must extend to the height of the shoes. Pants worn on the
hips are not allowed. Females may not wear makeup. Bracelets, necklaces,
chains and rings are not allowed. Religious objects may not be visible.
Shoes must be close-toed and socks white and long. MP3s, MP4s, and
cellphones may not be brought to school. Males may not wear earrings,
clips or piercings. Belts should be simple and without eccentric, large
or stylish buckles and must be black or tan.
Regarding the hair: Haircuts, hairdos and shaves must be correct,
eliminating any eccentricity or styles outside the definition of the
uniform. Males may not have: long hair, dyed hair, nor any spikes in the
hair, nor designs shaved into the hair. Females may not have any
dangling jewelry in their hair. Items used to style the hair must be
blue, white or black. These shall be of an appropriate size. Males must
not have hair longer than 4 centimeters.
"Now I wonder if Teo is enrolled in high school, or in a military unit",
adds Yoani
