Heard about this on the radio, but had no idea it was Blair until I saw the article in the Post. (white badge for me).
School Colors
The last thing any high school student wants is to be singled out.
So students at Montgomery County's largest high school are in an uproar over a new policy that requires them to wear color-coded IDs -- black for seniors, white for magnet kids and a particularly loud shade of yellow for students of limited English proficiency.

Horrible idea IMO.
Silver Chips (the school paper) sums it up nicely:
As the staff of the Silver Chips student newspaper opined in an editorial, "Self-segregation is already an issue in the student body, and the formal distribution of color-coded IDs has essentially institutionalized the phenomenon."
