A Dallas high school has banned students from wearing anything that might keep their heads and ears warm. But the weather isn't what sparked the so-called "hoodie ban" at Kimball High School.

The school district calls it a safety and security issue.

We weren't allowed inside Kimball. But the jackets and sweatshirts with hoods and hats that kids wear on the outside are banned on the inside.

There have been some fights at Kimball lately. School officials say they can't identify teenagers who attacked other students, because hoods hid their identity.

School district officials say the hood ban is within the principal's discretion. And students must adhere to the rule.
