A local middle school has both parents and students tripping over their Uggs.
On Wednesday, a letter was sent home with Pottstown Middle School students announcing a ban on "open top boots" in class.
The censorship of shoes was introduced after problems caused by students, “carrying items in their boots that are prohibited in school," said school principal Gail Cooper.
The offending boots are mostly Uggs, a Pottstown School District spokesman confirmed to the Mercury, and the offending items- though not stated- are most likely cell phones, according to school policy.

On Wednesday, Daily News gossip columnist Dan Gross reported which stars stopped by the Philadelphia Industry Lounge at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah this past weekend.
The purpose of the lounge was to educate filmmakers and entertainment professionals of Philadelphia's unique offerings- from financial incentives to services/support from the Philadelphia Film Office. So, how exactly was this accomplished?
