Firstly, you need to get political savvy, point out, if goth clothing is to be banned, then skate clothing is, sports clothing is, any brand name is to banned. Failure to comply to that request or to dissolve the ban, should then result in petitioning of the school, also remember to invoke your amendment rights as often as possible, should that fail the final step would be to sue the Florida school board for socio discrimination against a specific group without any real justification, don't forget to insight that bands like the beach boys and Buddy Holly were once considered satanic and that your music and fashion are just that, nothing more.
Undoubtedly they will try to use columbine as reasoning for this, so at which point, no official study has proven that the columbine incident was a result of goth culture, as no one so called expert can decide whether it was music, film or video games that supposedly inspired the shooting. Also worth pointing out, that the people involved in columbine weren't goths and were members of the trench coat mafia, which isn't affiliated with any alternative culture.
Follow these steps and worst case scenario, trench coats are banned on the grounds they are very easy to conceal weapons in and there for a security risk. You made your school board look so completely out of touch with everything, there will be an in depth investigation into the board, which will result in members being replaced with more 'in touch' representatives of various alt. cultures.
Works every time. wink

Oddly enough, our school doesn't have a problem with trench coats... They say gothic clothing is a "distraction", and that facial peircings are "potentially harmful". If they say anything to me, I'm going to complain about the bright red football jerseys the football team wears all day on game days, and the incredibly short skirts you see the preppy girls walking around in. Plus theres a rule in our student handbook that says and I quote " The student body at (my school) is one of the most diverse student bodies in the county. The administration and faculty value the various ethnic/cultural backgrounds as well as the variety of social-economic levels represented by our students. Disrespect toward any student or staff member due to ethnic/cultural differences or negative stereotypes will not be tolerated and will result in disciplinary consequences, including out-of-scool suspension."

That's such $%@!! The world is being censored away.
I know it's often borderline-excrutiating to accept -- to any degree -- something so naive & silly & flat-out wrong. But it's always nice to shock people who are shocked by "deviant clothing of SATAN" by displaying maturity, intellect, self-control, & hospitality.
If your school hasn't done so already, I'd talk to the authority figure(s) at your school that most pertains to changes in the dress code [or, if they're hard to reach or constantly busy, writing a formal-style note requesting to, if possible [it nearly always is, anyway] arrange a brief meeting with them to please clarify exactly what type of "Goth" clothing is currently banned, so you can know what "attire is appropriate for a classroom setting, & what is better worn on weekends, or not in an academic enviornment". That alone -- as long as you don't get too "suck-up-ish" -- will get you farther than straight rebellion will.
... & you should simply work around the rules. There are so many different ways to "dress Goth". I wouldn't be suprised if they banned guys from wearing 3 lbs of eyeliner, or those crazy Tripp pants, or spiked jewelry, or even shirts with absolutely harmless, yet sarcastic, satirical, or somehow "weird" slogans... but, they can't ban a colour 3nodding

Works every time. wink That would work! Rellik San, you're a genius aren't you? Or you've had a lot of experience with this kind of stuff.
In any case, I hate Florida and can't wait to get out of here DX
