1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: Dress codes in American schools have been part of the

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: culture wars for a long time. The latest battlefield Albert

3
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: Einstein hash rule. In the liberal bastion of Montgomery County, Maryland.

4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: Last week, a new principle email the rules to students

5
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:18,240
Speaker 1: and parents. Skirts and dresses must not show private areas

6
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: while the person wearing them is sitting, walking, going upstairs,

7
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 1: or whatever. Girls are boys or trentees 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
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 1: now in real Ville. There's nothing controversial here, but this

10
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: is Liberalville, Maryland. Parents complained that the dress code was sexist.

11
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: They argue that rules would be impossible to enforce. The

12
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: students said the new rules would cause body image issues

13
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: for girls. One female student complained that teachers would be

14
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: using their judgment about what's appropriate and what's inappropriate, and

15
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: that's kind of gross. We can't have adults judging It's

16
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 1: so the students deliberately wore outfits that violated the dress code,

17
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: proving once again that no matter what the rules are,

18
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: certain kids are gonna do it anyway. And the kids

19
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: are in charge, not the educators, not the parents. Respect

20
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: for authority, Nah. Folks forget that respect for the rules, Nah,

21
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: forget that respect for themselves. Well, if they had any

22
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: of that, we wouldn't even be talking about any of this,
