Dad strips down at school board meeting to make ‘clear argument’ about dress code

We want teachers to be teaching and not having to waste time measuring a girl’s shirt or making a girl feel uncomfortable,” Shultz said.

Good because policing what girls wear stems from this fucked idea that boys have no sexual self control or responsibility for same and that women thus have to take responsibility for it via modesty.

So with those idiotic notions, rape victims get blamed for appearance, consent doesn't enter the conversation, rapey boys are "boys being boys", and similar awful shit.

From the article:

As a dad, that’s very concerned about my children ....

I may disagree with it, but his kids aren't mine, so he, as the parent, he can prevent his daughters from owning that offending clothing.

...as well as everyone else’s kids in the district,

And here's where it goes off the rails. Why don't you keep your own parenting in your house instead of your neighbor's house, eh? Are you also going to decide what books other parent's kids read? How about what religious beliefs (if any) other parent's kids follow? None of that is your business. If other parents are okay with their kids dressing that way you shouldn't get a say on that.

Shouldn't the parents be watching what their kids wear if they are worried about? A basic dress code is all that is needed. Just like the board said its a waste of time to measure girls skirts. Maybe if we didn't taboo the body so much people wouldn't care what someone else is wearing.

“As a board we voted to ultimately let parents and families decide what is appropriate for them. It is the parents and family’s choice and as long as it doesn’t disrupt the school day, it would be a non-issue.”

I was not expecting this level of common sense from an Arizona school board. Good on them.

I actually find myself siding with the board here, if only because I have heard all too often about dress codes being overly restrictive or overly enforced. Like the board said, they don't want teachers wasting time measuring a girl's shirt when they should be teaching.

If only any of these parents cared about supporting teachers and their kids actually learning.

Sometimes my daughter wants to go to school in something too revealing.

We tell her to change because we're her parents and that's called parenting. We don't need the school to tell her what to wear.

His argument is that he looks like a fool dressed like that, so everyone who dresses like that looks like a fool? Weird thinking.

Real big get back in the kitchen energy from this guy. He probably needs the kids more covered up because he can't control himself around too much exposed teenage girl skin.

Oh, he's a never-nude too! I didn't see him at the convention last year in Berlin. There were literally dozens of us there. Dozens!

I hope someone called the police. Someone stole that poor man's ass.

Can't parents just talk to their children about how to dress?

I feel like that's a simpler solution and this way the school can focus on teaching.

it's crazy that they're making a crop top and short shorts mandatory dress code for all students

Looking good dude! Slay king

I currently work in a school, and it can be very awkward walking up steps when students have incredibly short shorts, skirts, dresses, ect. The amount of underage skin (glutes, a little too much cleavage, and male nipples with loose tank tops) genuinely makes me feel uncomfortable and it's not like I'm trying to see anything. There is no one solution to make everybody happy, and I don't think uniforms are great or terrible, but I think it would always be better to air on the side of caution and establish standards/ dress codes. Almost every profession has standards and dress codes too, so I don't see what's wrong with trying to get students in the habit, at least in highschool when they start getting into the work field. Idk, disagree with me if you want, but I think this is reasonable.

We are like teenagers trying to break every single rule forgetting why they are in place .

If the dress code is gonna be a problem, just make everyone wear a school uniform and be done with it.

It can't be that slow of a news day in... oh. Fox. A local Fox station. Of course they'd want to take antics like this from Arizona and put them on the news in Oregon where they're definitely relevant. Bullshit like this is why you can't believe the folk who claim these local fox affiliates are unbiased.

I don’t know about you degenerates but my heart and mind is changed. Thank you, Fupapa.

Yes, police what my children are wearing for me. Maybe the extra clothes will stop the bullets.

And what state is this in?

One where they're banning books and critical race theory even if critical race theory is a college course?

"“The fact that we have adults advocating for children to have less clothing on is absurd to me,” she said."

Too many commenters here think dress codes are all about "boys have no self control so girls should suffer".

Companies have dress codes. Is it too much for kids to have a predictable leveling environment where the most important thing is learning? Once they're grown up, "Katy" not being able to wear a bikini on the office floor, or Todd not being able to wear his gym tank top on the hotel front desk becomes obvious. So why is restricting that at school not ok?

Dress code is a great idea and is a way to set standards.

People need to have more respect for themselves and for society.

But we just going down a pit of degradation so happy my country still has some self respect with shirts and ties.

Lot of pedos in the comments.
