A Michigan Fan in Oklahoma

Click here to watch video


 
A 5 year old in Oklahoma City Public Schools was told last week to turn his shirt inside out at school because it violated the district's dress-code policy. Created in 2005 by an Anti-Gang Task Force, the policy allows only garb bearing the logos of Oklahoma universities. The shirt 5 year old Cooper Barton was forced to turn inside out was a University of Michigan shirt.
 
 
Cooper has now become a cult hero among the Wolverine faithful - as you can see in the video, athletic director Dave Brandon called him personally to invite him to be introduced on the field at a home game this fall at Michigan Stadium. He also received from U-M a shirt with Michigan logos inside and out, so if he has to reverse it again, he's still repping the Maize and Blue. Oklahoma City Public Schools are reportedly revisiting their dress code policy.
