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.

Or Neiman Marcus nowadays.
Customs change over time.
One era’s casual clothing is the next era’s formalwear.
A few generations down the line and nobody even owns what was their grandparents Sunday best.
First thing that came to mind.
I’m actually watching those episodes on YouTube right now.
Not an attractive look, but why would anyone comment on it? It covers everything that needs to be covered.
I’ve got money that says the administrator was black or this would have blown up into a racial thing in a New York minute.
Lamar High School in the Houston ISD is for high-achieving students, who are held to some pretty high standards of conduct and very high academic standards. Maybe her daughter couldn’t keep up.
Yeah... well, then ... maybe not! Hahah!!!!
:^)

And sat on the top of her desk.”
Did you go to school in Medford, Oregon? My young, single Spanish teacher did the same thing. My favorite class.
