James Madison High School in Houston Texas has a dress code that will turn away parents if they show up at the school wearing bonnets, pajamas, hair roller, leggings or low-cut tops, among other clothing items, according to a memo signed by the school’s new principal, Carlotta Outley Brown.

Good for her. Stand your ground, Principal Brown!
Get ready to be called nasty names on Twitter and Instagram.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

I’m with you Ms. Brown.

That is a very elite, sexist, racist thing to say.

First, a girl throws a lacey, white bonnet on, next thing you know, she’s dying her hair green, wearing skirts up to ‘here’ and getting tattoos up the yahoo!!” (Sarcasm off)
As long as we can still wear yoga pants, I’m good.
Parents are NOT what they used to be.
Oh come on. Many a good schoolmarm wore bonnets in the 18th & 19th century.
They look like shower caps that go over rollers. Men wear them too, but those are called do-rags.
Uh, no , standards be rayciss!
Gawd, we now have to be told not to wear pajamas to an elementary school?!?
