Teachers in Huntsville, Alabama will soon be subject to a dress code. Call me old school, but it’s a little sad that this needs to be spelled out for grown-ups. Huntsville already has a student dress code that forbids overly baggy, tight, or revealing clothes, plus no t-shirt slogans referring to drugs, alcohol or violence.
A few years ago, parents at my daughter’s school were in a lather over a high school girl’s t-shirt, which read “Sex, Drugs, and Nuclear Physics.” Half the parents thought it was inappropriate, and set a bad example for the lower schoolers. The other half thought it was great the girl was so into science.
