[quote=Anonymous][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]

Is little Jacob wearing a dress?  If so, he should have shorts on, too.  Don't put it on the teachers to fish sand out of your kid's panties because you are hung up on freedom of expression for the preschool set?  Underpants without shorts over them are not comfortable or appropriate attire for active outdoor play.  Not because it's so appealing to pervs who might decide the playground where the teacher has to supervise multiple kids including that girl who always wears the barbie underpants is a great place to eat lunch every day (although that paints a picture, don't it?)  Underpants alone are inappropriate because they make it uncomfortable to go down a slide, sit in the sandbox, slide down a fireman pole, and lots of other fun things.  Would you rather your daughter practice keeping her dress down, or that she feel comfortable playing freely?[/quote]

First of all, you brought up freedom of expression, not me.  This has absolutely nothing to do with freedom of expression or any other constitutional right.

My daughter has never worn shorts over underpants and she's never had a problem on the playground.  No one has ever fished sand out of her underpants.  That is truly disgusting.

Why would it be more uncomfortable to go down the slide in underpants than to play on a sandy beach in a bathing suit?  None of this makes any sense.  If your daughters' underpants gape and don't fit, they are too old.  Buy them new ones.[/quote]
