Who Is "They?"

Besides, in the context of the kid, it's pretty obvious that "they" were not officials telling him to hide it under a band-aid.

To your credit, your scenario was slightly different than what I'm arguing about - your kid had earrings on display and wanted to put tape over them and "they" said it was ok. That's probably a different "they". I just think we become part of the problem when we look the other way. For what it's worth, I don't feel the same about the arm sleeves and I've stopped caring about headband color as well. But jewelry seems to make sense as a safety issue and I just won't allow it.
