Parents are riled up with the new rule implemented by James Madison High School. The new rule was a parental dress code. The Houston Federation of Teachers President, Zeph Capo, also disagree with this rule, and stated that turning someone away because of her messed up hair is a little ridiculous.
Principal Carlotta Outley Brown wrote in a letter earlier this month to parents that they cannot enter school grounds while wearing pajamas or revealing clothing. The school is also prohibiting parents from wearing 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.
What do you think about this parental dress code?

A school has zero authority over a parent and how they dress. I would tell the school where they could stick their dress code and how many orifices they should use.

Awkward graphic; needs "no" to start each line.

I'm surprised that this is Texas and not Florida!
