Dress code for parents? Mom says school turned her away because of her outfit
MSN ^ | 04/12/2019 | Scott Stump

Usually it's students who find themselves fighting against school dress codes, often labeled as sexist, racist or just plain unfair.

The roles were reversed for a mother of a high school student in Houston who told NBC affiliate KPRC that she was unable to register her daughter because school officials asked her to leave the property due to what she was wearing.

Joselyn Lewis was wearing a T-shirt dress featuring a picture of Marilyn Monroe and a headscarf when she she was trying to enroll her daughter in the school and an unidentified administrator at Madison High School asked her to leave.

"She went on to say that she still couldn't let me on the premises because I was not in dress code and I still didn't understand what that meant," Lewis told KPRC. "She said that my headscarf was out of dress code and my dress was too short."

Lewis had just come from Lamar High School, where her daughter was previously enrolled, and said she did not have an issue there.

"I mean, I didn't understand why my headscarf and my dress would conflict with me enrolling someone in school,'' she said.

How embarrassing for her high school level daughter.
Mom doesn’t know any better than not to leave the house like that or enter a new school with her child.
If the girl wasn’t being bullied before, she will be so after this.

Mom still can’t figure out what all the fuss is about.
When teenage girls wear a long t-shirt as a ‘dress’, that often means they have little else on at all. The school wishes to avoid such harassment prone situations.

You guessed it. See post 7. The daughter was being bullied.

And this Obama Mama has no freaking clue.

High marks for bravery from me. The only thing I would say to the person in that photo is hello, please, thank you, and goodbye.

That’s what I first thought of, lol. Who here remembers (and liked) the early 1980s TV series with Barbara Eden?

“Been to Walmart, have you?”

Yup. Have seen worse there. And worse in airports.

That woman’s dress isn’t that short. Sheesh, I blush to think about what I wore in the ‘60s.

Hey now.

This beauty queen may have been a Katrina refugee. From the Chocolate City.

In any case - she is gross.
