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.

It’s not a “dress”. It’s a t-shirt. And with probably nothing else under it.

The high school dress code can’t be enforced (as seldom as they are even enforced at all any more) for teenagers attending if “parents” are allowed to show up in worse.

They’re liberals and she’s black. Of course they weren’t going to register her daughter.

It's called a "t-shirt dress":

Other examples of t-shirt dresses

And more examples

It's not something I would wear... but I'm older.

A parents’ dress code is necessary because so many parents show up in nightgowns, pajamas, bathrobes, short short shorts, halter tops, etc.

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

After I retired I managed a retail store for several years. At least once per month I would be in court to testify regarding theft or other charges I had to levy against somebody and I always wore slacks, a sport coat, and tie.

Except for me, the only other people who dressed up were the lawyers, prosecutors, and the court employees. I do not remember ever seeing a defendant or anyone sitting in the court wearing appropriate attire. It amazed me as to how casual most people are when inside a court of law, even the people who may end up in jail.
