[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here.  Wasn't there a thread on here recently (or was it on my facebook page?) that complained that Target doesn't even sell regular pants for girls anymore, just leggings?  If so, this will make shopping a bit difficult. 
My 7 year old wears almost exclusively leggings, and I am conflicted in general about the dress code.  I went to a school where almost anything was appropriate (within safety standards like closed toed shoes and no exposed bellies in the science lab), and I think I was better off for it.  People who snicker that they can see someone's undies should get in trouble for looking.  [b]Otherwise, it's a slippery slope to burkas, IMOP[/b]

I am besieged by ads for "yoga pants you can wear to work."  I wonder how said yoga pants would be treated at Deal if I chose to buy them?

Do you really believe that banning uncovered leggings is a slippery slope to burkas?

I'm really troubled that women believe this means the dress code sexist. Why isn't there a thread, "Deal Middle School -- no low-slung pants"!

Also, for those of you wondering where to shop..Gap has categories for jeans, cords, pants, and dresses & skirts in addition to leggings for girls. On the homepage it shows a girl in jeggings, a girl in jeans, a girl in overalls, and one girl in leggings WITH a skirt over it. So, I guess your 7yo, as well as the teens at Deal, can find options at Gap.[/quote]
