[quote=Anonymous]I love the name-calling among people who disagree with those who are uncomfortable with the policy.

You've said:

--stupid
--not good at feminism
--bad parents 
--ridiculous
--didn't use liberal arts education well
--hope you don't have daughters
--backseat drivers.

And also claimed that we must support booty shorts, transparent pants, and visible thongs.  You've claimed that we have no other priorities and that people who dress differently than you allow look "whorish."

You've claimed that people who oppose the policy have planted this idea in their daughter's minds and thus created the problem.  You've claimed we're encouraging them to hate the rules.

In fact the OP wrote that she did NOT plan to bring it up with the administration and that her daughter expressed a concern on her own.   But you've ignored that.

It's one thing to disagree and another to insult people for their point of view.

Fortunately the people you are insulting are, in fact, quite capable of parenting our daughters.  We're capable of helping them present themselves in a dignified manner while in leggings.  We're capable of instilling and maintaining respect for rules.  We're capable of distinguishing between booty shorts and standard Lands End and Children's Place apparel.  We're not stupid.  We're capable of supporting our school administrations even when we disagree with certain policies.

In short, we do not need to be scolded.
