RIVERBANK — Riverbank High School students are clean and school officials want them to look clean, too, Principal Ken Geisick said.
Although Geisick cannot recall a student being disciplined for having or using the drug ecstasy in the four years he has been principal at the school, Riverbank Unified School District board members voted unanimously and with little discussion Tuesday night to add Mac Dre to a list of names and labels banned at the school.
The reason: Mac Dre, a rapper who was gunned down in 2004 in Kansas City, Mo., glorifies drug use, Geisick said.
Sacramento-based Thizz Entertainment founder Mac Dre coined the slang "to thizz" to describe being high on ecstasy.
Mac Dre clothing is relatively rare on campus, but officials are trying "to stay ahead of the game," Geisick said.
Riverbank High School administrators review the school's dress code every December. This school year, a few students have worn clothes with images on their backs of Mac Dre smoking marijuana.
"It's glaringly obvious," Geisick said.
Dre joins 'Nor Cal,' 'vato loco'
Other items on the banned list of labels and names are more subtle and often gang-related. The list includes "eight ball," "Joe Camel," "Nor Cal," "Rolling Hard," "Sol Beer," "south pole" and "vato loco."
Geisick conceded that many artists are associated with drug use and students still are allowed to wear clothes with images of them. If students were sporting images of Bob Marley smoking marijuana, Marley might go on the list as well, Geisick said. "Mac Dre is what's being sold now," he added.
When administrators see a name or type of clothing that could merit a place in the dress code someday, they try to act on it before it becomes popular and more difficult to purge, Geisick explained.
So before parents shell out big bucks for miniskirts or Mac Dre hoodies, they should know their children will not be allowed to wear them at school.
"We want to be explicit with parents," he added. "A lot of parents school shop and some (banned clothing) is expensive."
