And how will this determination be made?  Will the girl go to the office and bend over in a bright light before a committee of teachers?  does that strike you as a workable solution?  Or does it (I hope) seem like rape-light?

It's simpler and more detached and matter-of-fact to just ban categories:   X (leggings, all of them) Y (boxers that can be seen) and Z (bras as shirts, say.  Or ball caps.  Or wetsuits).  [/quote]

This was going to be my response exactly. The parents that keep contesting and saying it's the parent's responsibility and not the school's are dead wrong. It absolutely is the school's responsibility as parent's acceptable clothing can be such a wide range (see this post). And to the PP, the school absolutely can and will suspend a student for not adhering to the dress code. I agree that I don't think leggings are appropriate as pants. I don't care if they are in every clothing catalog and "the norm" for teen girls these days. Booty shorts are the norm, as are skimpy bikinis, I don't think they should be allowed. I also judge parents that allow their kids to wear this kind of clothing and contribute to society thinking this American apparel short shorts fad is the norm. Shame on you parents of girls that allow this to continue. I am no prude but I do think girls should dress appropriately until they are 18. Then I couldn't care less what they wear.[/quote]
