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.

This says she unenrolled her daughter at one school and tried to enroll her in this one.

She says her daughter was being bullied at the old school.

Gee. I wonder why?

Oh. And read the comments at this link. Hilarious!

Having seen how people dress when doing something important always amazes me.

I seen people show up for life changing court appearances
dressed like low end hookers and worse.

The way she is dressed is inappropriate for what she was trying to do.

But trust me I seen a lot worse.

How was she supposed to know, or maybe she didn’t understand that there was a dress code for PARENTS? Who ever heard of that? Tht’s just straight up racism, that’s what that iz.

Madison High School?

Miss Connie Brooks said it was OK, but old stick-in-the-mud Mr. Conklin nixed her.
