"My name is Maximus Erasmus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the BISD, General of the High School Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, the Brownsville Independent School District. Member of a dysfunctional board, defendant in a DWI. And I will exercise my God-given rights to wear my blue jeans, in this life or the next."
By Juan Montoya
Hear about the slave rebellion over at the Maximus Call Center?
Apparently, current Brownsville Independent school District board member Erasmus Castro had undergone the training period and was well aware that the company had a dress code that prohibited the wearing of blue jeans.
Now, you may ask, what does it matter since you are talking to potential clients over the phone?
Well, rules are rules and that's that. So we hear that after a week Castro chafed under the dress-code rule and the level of taunts of some of his co-workers. Then, he just called in and said he had enough of the tyrannical dress code and didn't return to work.
And so, our jean-clad board member struck out for good-old American tradition of individual dress freedom and hung up on them.
