Should students be punished for 'exceeding' the dress code at their school with nicer clothes?

Austin Perkins, 17, thought he was going one step above what was required of him. The senior wore a jacket and tie to school and the act sent him to in-school suspension. His violation? He wasn’t following the dress code. “I thought it was better than a polo shirt,” he said. “So, my friend and I thought why not take the extra step? It says business dress. A coat and tie are business dress. Instead we were thrown in a room where we couldn’t talk.” Principal Bob Spano said Perkins and several other students had been warned before that they were not following the dress code. Under the school's policy, students are required to wear collared or polo shirts that must be tucked in. The shirts must be in a solid color of white, gray, green, pink or khaki. The shirts must be 3 inches below the waist. Students are allowed to wear long pants, walking shorts, skirts or dresses in black, khaki or denim fabric. Belts are required.
