    Shouldn’t the parents be watching what their kids wear if they are worried about? A basic dress code is all that is needed. Just like the board said its a waste of time to measure girls skirts. Maybe if we didn’t taboo the body so much people wouldn’t care what someone else is wearing.

      Hahahaha my parents “watched my clothing” so I either had extra clothes in my bag that I’d change into, or I’d wear them under a top layer of “approved” clothing and take it off later.

        Parent, here. My kids wear whatever the hell they want, and because I’m not giving them any reason to rebel, they don’t feel any urge to do that kind of thing.

        And if they did for fun or something? I wouldn’t give a shit.

        I agree I changed my clothes too sometimes in high school. But still a basic dress code would cover the more extreme outfit. But when it comes to a skirt being a slightly short I don’t think its worth the school time to check.

      Agreed. We all have bodies. Underwear is appropriate for shared spaces (most people dont want to sit on anyone else’s ass juice) but aside from that this prudishness of the human form that many people have is silly to me.

      Even if the dad DID walk around like that, I think that’s his business. We should all be allowed to wear what we want (undies for sanitary reasons) and if something is offensive then people could just, you know, not look!
