You know OUB, It's more than short on knee jerk, it is bordering on Lunacy.
tomkat, did you even READ the article. It said girls wearing Short skirts were checked for appropriate attire.
hence if some nazi prick was checking your son, it would be because he was wearing a SHORT SKIRT....which at a high schoool dance would be inappropriate..No?
Once the Skirt reaches a certain level, that act of dancing itself, makes the underwear Outerwear. And, no matter what these idiot parents think, thier daughters vulva hanging out of a thong is inappropriate, at a HS function.
Tell you this. The first Irate father that shows up at my door, bc his daughter was wearing a short skirt and a thong to a dance and got nailed by one of my boys, gets beat up by me....
Or any where else for that matter.
Alas
If the skirt is too short, then the school should ask the girls to leave, or to change into a longer dress and return. There is absolutely no legitimate rational for lifting the dress to see what they otherwise could not see. You authoritarians are are dead wrong on this.
The State mandates that kids go to school and then, once there, deprives them of their Constitutional 4th Amendment Right. This further deprives the adolescents there right to recourse and rememdy. Yes, the Constitution applies to "We the People" not just "We the Adults." If the Constitution did not apply to everyone, then could the authoritarians not also deprive children of their Constitutionally protected Right to life and liberty?
You authoritarians never cease to amaze me with the imposition of your private will over another's protected Rights!
Underwear as outerwear is already the case. There is a High School near the grocery store I frequent and as such many High School students shop there. I've noticed that the "in style" fashion for girls of that age is to wear those ridiculously low cut "low-rider" jeans with the tops of their thongs hanging out over the tops of their pants. The guys are just as guilty wearing sagging pants that practically fall to their knees.
It is a wonder anyone can learn anything in school these days!
