A Scarlet Letter 'A'.
Hester Prynne had to wear the scarlet letter "A" in Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter" as a punishment for committing adultery. She was publicly shamed and ostracized by the puritanical society in which she lived.
Hester Prynne had to wear a red letter "A" for "adultery" (it was her sin).
The original scarlet letter was "A." Since it stood for Adultery, it may not be appropriate for school.
Hester Prynne was sentenced to wear The Scarlet Letter in 1642 by the Puritan leaders in the Massachusetts Bay Colony after being found guilty of committing adultery.
Mostly some kind of uniform. If in 'civvies' pants were wide and turned up an inch at bottom, jackets had short wide lapels. Shoes were sturdy.
In Chapter 2 of "The Scarlet Letter," Hester's sin is revealed to be adultery, as she has had a child out of wedlock. She is publicly shamed and required to wear a scarlet letter "A" on her chest to signify her sin.
