[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apparently not.
My daughter said a girl in her class had on booty shorts with her thong pulled up high on her hips and a sports bra. Not just a mid-drift showing.

No one said a thing[/quote]

I don’t say this often but

where are her parents?[/quote]

Probably going about their business in the belief that what their daughter does is more important than what their daughter wears. Evidently your opinion is different.[/quote]

I get your point, and I have been the target of sexist dress codes due to having an hourglass figure.  It’s uncomfortable.  However, I don’t think it’s sexist to expect people to maintain some standard of appearance in a professional setting.  While the code needn’t be sexist, I don’t think the message that it’s okay to “let it all hang out” is helpful either.

There is no workplace that lets their employees show up any which way.  Why should schools be different?[/quote]

Because students are not professionals and not employees.

Also, MCPS does not allow students to show up "any which way." See the policy posted by a PP.[/quote]
