Dress codes in American schools have been part of the culture wars for a long time. The latest battlefield Albert Einstein hash rule. In the liberal bastion of Montgomery County, Maryland. Last week, a new principle email the rules to students and parents. Skirts and dresses must not show private areas while the person wearing them is sitting, walking, going upstairs, or whatever. Girls are boys or trentees in dresses and skirts.
Do backless tops, exposed middrifts, visible underwear no longer permitted now in real Ville. There's nothing controversial here, but this is Liberalville, Maryland. Parents complained that the dress code was sexist. They argue that rules would be impossible to enforce. The students said the new rules would cause body image issues for girls. One female student complained that teachers would be using their judgment about what's appropriate and what's inappropriate, and
that's kind of gross. We can't have adults judging It's so the students deliberately wore outfits that violated the dress code, proving once again that no matter what the rules are, certain kids are gonna do it anyway. And the kids are in charge, not the educators, not the parents. Respect for authority, Nah. Folks forget that respect for the rules, Nah, forget that respect for themselves. Well, if they had any of that, we wouldn't even be talking about any of this,
