HIGH SCHOOL ISSUES DRESS CODE FOR PARENTS

James Madison High School in Houston, Texas, has implemented a dress code targeted toward parents. Many parents drop off their kids – or their kid’s lunch or homework – straight out of bed. Principal Carlotta Outley Brown wrote in a letter to parents that they cannot enter school grounds while wearing pajamas or revealing clothing. Also, no leggings, sagging pants, low-rider shorts, short dresses and low-cut tops. Women can’t wear a satin cap, hair curlers, shower cap or bonnet on their heads. The new policy was implemented “to prepare our children and let them know daily, the appropriate attire they are supposed to wear when entering a building, going somewhere, applying for a job, or visiting someone outside of the home setting,” Outley Brown said. Some parents, of course, have a problem with the dress code. Mom Rosemary Young was handed a copy of the new parental dress code when she wore a satin cap to pick up her son from the school. She said, “What I wear should never be an issue.”
* Those parents who complain have been directed to the nearest Walmart.
* Hey, embarrassing your kid is the fun part of being a parent.
* Parents are getting revenge by calling Principal Carlotta at all hours and whispering, “What are you wearing?”
* Okay, have it your way. From now on – every parent wear yoga pants!
