1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,640 Speaker 1: Dress codes in American schools have been part of the 2 00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,960 Speaker 1: culture wars for a long time. The latest battlefield Albert 3 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 1: Einstein High sc rule in the liberal bastion of Montgomery County, Maryland. 4 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: Last week, a new principle email the rules to students 5 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:18,240 Speaker 1: and parents. Skirts and dresses must not show private areas 6 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,759 Speaker 1: while the person wearing them is sitting, walking, going upstairs 7 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:26,280 Speaker 1: or whatever. Girls are boys or tranies in dresses and skirts? 8 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: Do backless tops, exposed middrifts? Visible underwear no longer permitted 9 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,240 Speaker 1: now in real Ville. There's nothing controversial here, but this 10 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,160 Speaker 1: is liberal Ville, Maryland. Parents complained that the dress code 11 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: was sexist. They argue that rules would be impossible to enforce. 12 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 1: The students said the new rules would cause body image 13 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:52,200 Speaker 1: issues for girls. One female student complained that teachers would 14 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: be using their judgment about what's appropriate and what's inappropriate, 15 00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: and that's kind of gross. We can't have adults judging kids. 16 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: So the students deliberately wore outfits that violated the dress code, 17 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: proving once again that no matter what the rules are, 18 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: certain kids are gonna do it anyway, And the kids 19 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 1: are in charge, not the educators, not the parents. Respect 20 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: for authority, Nah. Folks forget that respect for the rules, Nah, 21 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: forget that respect for themselves. Well, if they had any 22 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: of that, we wouldn't even be talking about any of this,
