Houston high school principal has implemented a dress code for parents because she says it is necessary to establish high standards for students, despite criticism that the move could be discriminatory.
"No one can enter the building or be on the school premises wearing a satin cap or bonnet on their head for any reason."
James Madison High School will turn away parents who show up to school wearing pajamas, hair rollers, leggings or certain other items of clothing, including bonnets. Another Madison High parent, Tomiko Miller, told the Houston Chronicle that she was"almost insulted" by the new code. "I'm sorry, this principal may have plenty of money and time to go to the hairdresser weekly and have her stuff done," he told the newspaper."Who are you to judge others who may not have the same opportunities that you do? Having a wrap on your head is not offensive. It should not be controversial."
Also banned from school grounds are men wearing undershirts, parents wearing sagging pants or shorts, revealing tops, torn jeans"showing lots of skin," and"dresses that are up to your behind."
