Quote, paraphrase, and citation #1

Quote #1
 In Muskogee, Oklahoma, a Muslim sixth grader named Nashala Hearn was suspended twice for wearing her head scarf because it violated the dress code of the Benjamin Franklin Science Academy, the school she attended. On August 27, more than 200 male students at Bonham High School in Bonham, Texas, were herded through the cafeteria, videotaped and forced to lift up their shirts so that school officials could determine if their waistlines were too low, or if their underwear was showing. And since the school year began last month at the Duncanville High School and Ninth Grade Center in Duncanville, Texas, more than 700 students have been suspended for violating the school's "zero-tolerance" dress code. One of them was a 13-year-old honor student who was suspended for having her shirt untucked.

Quote #2
  In the kids speak passage a muslim sixth grader got suspended for wearing her head scarf. It was violating the dresscode. Guys were forced to lift their shirt up to see if there jeans were waist level. More than 700 students have been suspended and the school year has just started. Things are getting out of hand because its not that nessary for them to do all of this.
