Sad that we need to have something like this to enforce appropriate behavior. They can still go to Walmart looking like crap if they want. When I was a kid women did not leave the house without makeup and if you saw a woman with curlers in her hair it was rare.

At one high school in Texas, parents can’t just roll out of bed in the morning to drop off their kids anymore.

James Madison High School in Houston has implemented a dress code targeted toward parents that has riled some people up.

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.

The guidelines follow reports that a mother was not allowed to enroll her daughter at Madison High School because she showed up wearing a T-shirt dress and a head scarf.

However, some parents don’t agree with the new rules.

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 she was in a hurry because her younger son had broke his arm earlier.

“It doesn’t matter how a parent should come,” Young told CNN affiliate KTRK. “If we come here belligerent, out of control, things of that nature, that’s what you have the police for, but what I wear should never be an issue. I’m not revealing. I’m not doing anything. I don’t have any weapons.”

Zeph Capo, president of the Houston Federation of Teachers, also thinks the school went too far.

“Having body parts exposed is one thing. Turning someone away because their hair’s in rollers … is a little ridiculous,” Capo told CNN. “This is an issue of a principal issuing a dictatorial edict rather than having substantive conversation.”

“Some of that stuff seems a little classist,” Capo added.

Houston Independent School District declined to comment. Outley Brown did not respond to request for comment.

School board will live to regret the utter crapstorm this will provoke. . .

And when the parents ignore this rule they are going to do what, exactly? Even if they could enforce it, the first time they tried and it resulted in a child and parent being unwillingly separated I do not think it would end well.

The "parent" quoted in that article summed up the issue perfectly. Don't try and be a role model for your kids, instead show the world how proud and justified you feel being a barely literate POS.

"...had broke his arm..." Really? Apparently the journalist who wrote this had a mom who wore clothing now banned at this school.

Wait. What?

It’s Houston. I can only imagine the ghetto vermin involved.

Hey, anyone can mistake a school for a Walmart.

Shit. People FLY cross country in pajamas, torn up pants, NO shoes, unwashed and stinky, why should a visit to your kids school be any different?

More specifically, it's just inside Beltway 8 on the southside and nearest exit is Alameda Blvd

I applaud the school for having balls big enough to roll that out. I agree that people should have enough self respect to leave the house looking decent.

That said, the school is in for one hell of a media shitstorm from the Communist News Network.

This again, I thought they had this sorted for once and all. Where was that... oh yea, Harper Valley.

Give the child detention? I remember a big stink a few years ago over a kid getting detention because a parent refused to sign a note and return it to the school.

It's a Mennonite thing called "religious practice."

Ban this, ban the hijab.

Because Zeph couldn't say "racist".

I am sure he thought long and hard about which Leftist epithet he could hurl at Brown.

My kids go to a pricy private school. If they banned moms from wearing leggings, holy shit, the shouts would be heard on other continents

Other than the leggings thing, I don't think they're asking too much. I don't know what they are talking about with the satin cap though. We have a gal at work who wears "scarfs" on her head. They look nice and are certainly office appropriate imo, but I assume this isn't what they're referring to? Are we literally talking about shower caps? If so, that's hilarious.

I had to look up "satin cap". Apparently they are sloppy caps with a satin lining to be worn at night to protect the hair (from what, I don't know). They seem to be mostly aimed at females, but do indicate males could wear them (maybe those with long hair or Afros?).

Not surprising. Hell, ya'll should see some of the stuff folks wear to court these days.

Pajamas and fuzzy slippers. Greasy wife beaters, swim trunks, and flip-flops. Cheeto-stained sweatpants and "420" t-shirts. I could go on and on.

That is a fairly crappy neighborhood.

I understand the lesson they are trying to instill, but the school is the state after all. Do we really want the government legislating standards of dress and good taste, even when we do agree with those standards? What's next, a rule banning parents from wearing NRA or Smith and Wesson hats or shirts at school?

Schools have this power over children - that is inarguable, and for good reason. But this is the parents, not the students.
