A Houston Independent School District high school has a new dress code. But it’s not for students, who already have a school uniform. It’s for their parents.

James Madison High School will turn away parents if they show up at the school wearing bonnets, pajamas, hair rollers or leggings, among other clothing items, according to a memo signed by the school’s new principal, Carlotta Outley Brown. The new parent dress code is posted on the front page of the school’s website.

“Parents, we do value you as a partner in your child’s education,” Outley Brown, herself a graduate of Madison High School, said in the memo. “However, please know we have to have standards, most of all we must have high standards.”

The parent dress code was issued the day after KPRC-TV (Channel 2) reported a parent attempting to enroll her daughter at Madison High School had been turned away because of how she was dressed. The mother, who was wearing a T-shirt dress and headscarf, said the school called police to remove her from the property when she demanded to see the parent dress code she had supposedly broken. Outley Brown’s memo detailing a parent dress code is dated the next day.


I know that musta been one cranky & angry woman to have had the school call LE.

(“Parents, we do value you as a partner in your child’s education” - Uh, no. Contempt for parents and laymen (often very smart parents and laymen) is high on the socialist academic checklist.)

Easy fix...go to skrewl board and pitch a fit, every meeting, demanding that that principal, at a public skrewl, be fired for cause. Public humiliation is to be included in the campaign to oust that bureaucrat from her taxpayer funded ivory tower.
