[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this a religious/conservative school?  This strikes me as bizarrely antiquated and almost overly-sexualized.  Omigod, mustn't see little Olivia's panties.  Whereas little Jacob's underpants?  Is there a concern about him?  Does he have to wear an undershirt in case he accidently pulls up his shirt and exposes himself?[/quote]

OP here.  Yes, I think this is why I am so bothered by the request.  It's as though they are suggesting that my 3 year old DD has some sort of sexuality that needs to be covered up and protected!  This is not a religious school, but we recently left DC for a much more conservative area of the country and I definitely felt undertones of religious modesty from the teacher's comments.

I am probably more irritated by this request than I ought to be.  On the one hand, I don't want to comply because I think it's ridiculous and I think she should just learn to keep her skirt down.  On the other hand, I definitely feel the teachers will judge us if we allow DD's underwear to remain "exposed."  Argh!  I don't even like this school very much to begin with and this experience has soured me even more.  Unfortunately, the good alternatives are all full.  [/quote]
