Dress code for parents at high school

I don't get the pajamas in public thing.
 
You know society sure has changed where people think it's okay to go to their childs school in pjs and shower caps. That used to be a funny movie character or the drunk parent that the poor kid had to live with. To bad there is no precedence no one respects precedence anymore so now rules have to be put in place.
I was at Morehouse recently and they enacted a dress code. Out of the 20 inner city high school boys on the trip all were upset in the beginning about having to pull their pants up. At the end of 2 hours 10 wanted to know how they to be can be Morehouse men. There's only been about a week and half of school since the trip but I was told so far there all wearing their pants on their asses. Yay for small victories!

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!

It is the exact opposite.

No, it's not. Society has acceptable standards and pajamas don't match them. Furthermore, pajamas are inappropriate in other ways as well.

It is you trying to impose your beliefs on others.

It is a public school and they have the right to determine who comes into the school during the school day. This is NOT me imposing my beliefs on others, but you imposing yours on others.

Anything else is YOU imposing your will on me.

You are trying to tell schools they do not have the right/ability to enforce decency standards. That is YOU imposing your beliefs on others.

Taking away my freedom to be who and how I am.

You are free to be who you want at your home. Don't wear any clothes there if you don't want. But you don't get to tell schools how they conduct their business during school hours.

Trump is a cancer is the bottom line here.

This could very well be the stupidest comment I've ever read. A) Trump has nothing to do with this at all and B) If you think I'm a Trump supporter then you have not read any post I've created outside this thread.

One of Texas' liberal cities.

This is a really silly post.

The only difference between pajamas, a suit or jeans is what society has come to accept.

There is no right or wrong.

You are simply trying to impose your definition of what a societal norm should be.

Can't you see this?

Societal norms exist for a reason. If people don't like it, they can home school their kids. If they don't like it in the workplace, they can start their own business or go cut lawns. Of course there are rights and wrongs, in this as in everything. That type of thinking only leads to chaos because it starts to suffuse every sphere of life. It's why we have homeless people all over the street in places like SF fouling their surroundings and making life unbearable for the citizens there. It's a stark example of the concept of "no right or wrong" in actual practice.

yeah...i see it

and i see us sliding further and further away from common sense daily

yes, i am an old white dude, and my tastes are probably archaic...agreed

but c'mon man....there is a point that we all have to agree goes beyond what is and isnt acceptable

it is like pornography...you know it when you see it type of thing....

like a 400 lb woman wearing spandex....it just shouldnt EVER happen

I have long held the opinion that there should be a dress code for posting on DP. We have our standards, don't we? First to ban would be any and all text on clothing. The epitome of vulgarity.

Perhaps all posts should be accompanied by a certificate from two witnesses stating that the poster was modestly attired at the time of typing.

Well, I have to agree with you on that.
The written word does not belong on garments.

Now, if we could only persuade people and purveyors of the same....
 
My sartorial views don't comport with what most folks', but I do wonder why a school would implement a parental dress code. If the school forces parents to dress a certain way, the school's teachers and administrators lose a piece of information about parents' personalities and sensibilities.

There's a time and place to wear literally everything made to be worn. Knowing when and where to wear (or not wear) what is among the things expected of adults.

That the reasons for appropriate dress in public has to be explained to you is a sad commentary of how far standards of public etiquette have declined.

You try to explain it to yourself, you are the one that champions it, illogically. From pure emotion.

You may have an opinion in the absence of fact, not in conflict with it. You may quote me.

Trump has empowered deplorables. He has everything to do with all you coming out of the closet, as if your behaviors are acceptable.

should we all have to wear MAGA hats? Is that what will be demanded next?

God bless you narrow minded hypocrites.
 
You don't have to "get all dolled up", but have some respect for your offspring and get out of your pajamas.

When did you become the determiner of what is/isn’t logical? The emotional responses throughout this thread have been mostly yours.

Self examination time?

Sorry, you don’t get the credit for originating the principle you’re parroting.
 
Pissant civil servants need to learn the extent of their authority and then, if they stick a single finger past that limit, they should lose that ****ing finger.

Of all the petty bureaucrats that need to be made to stay in their own lane, schoolteachers are surely the worst.

Now don't misunderstand, I have never and would never leave my home in my pajamas. None of my kids ever have or ever would.

That said, WTF do you care if some people do?

To me it represents sloth and laziness. If that is how some folks want to be perceived, I am glad. I know I have nothing in common with them.
I am sure they all watch TV on a weekday afternoons.

But to ban how someone dresses?

Worse.

It's my line. Now I will not allow you to quote me. It's your own fault.

They can do whatever they want in their home, around their friends and family, but have some respect, if for no one else then for yourself. First Walmart, now schools?
Enforcing a dress code is not a hindrance, it is an appeal to their decency as humans who happen to live in society. They should be thankful that someone has enough cojones to remind them what they are.
 
why would parents expect to be subject to a less restrictive dress code standard than their children/students?

Enforcing a dress code is simply about compelling your tribal colors on others. To make your tribe dominate. It's not conscience and it's primal.

It has zero to do with "decency."

It is about power. Power makes one feel safe. Fear is our primary motivator.

Are you suggesting that Trumpets were not ashamed of their vulgar behaviors and beliefs before TRump came along?

Of course they were, rightly so.

They were even ashamed to admit that they were going to vote for Trump.

Now they are all out in the open as if those behaviors are now somehow acceptable.

Asking parents to be acceptable in public is difficult with inner city schools, where parents are the problem to start with. If we would simply cut off funds for welfare recipients who are able to work it would fix this monstrous problem. It is not "kind" to continue to allow black inner city communities to fail due to idiotic government policies

The only reason that many Trump supporters are "hidden" is that leftists promise to destroy the lives of anyone who disagrees with their retarded ideas. There is a quite large hidden vote for Trump out there, and you are stupid to attack them.

I am guessing that a main reason that blacks have a 75% out of birth wedlock rate is because welfare programs promote this, and blacks are particularly attracted to welfare programs due to lower IQ levels.
