Lawmaker Proposes Dress Code For Parents Visiting Their Kids’ School!
A lawmaker in Memphis, Tennessee is proposing a dress code for parents who visit their children’s school. Antonio Parkinson is working on a bill that would outline how parents dress and act on school campuses. Each district will be able to make their own rules.
Parkinson told Today that it was a meme about parents dressing in pajamas that led to the proposal of the bill, “I then got on the phone with some of the leaders in my district and learned how big of a problem it really was.”
Some support a dress code for parents but others say people who may be financially disadvantaged would feel like they weren’t dressed nice enough to come to the school which would lower parent involvement.
The bill could go up for a vote as early as July and be signed into Tennessee law in Fall of 2020.
Do you think schools should have a dress and behavior code for parents? What could the benefits or problems be?
