James Madison High School will turn away parents if they show up at the school wearing bonnets, pajamas, hair rollers or leggings. https://t.co/oUM9MxAd9f

The biggest argument on Twitter right now revolves around a relatively obscure high school in Texas. In case you missed it, James Madison High School in Houston has flipped the timeline on its head by instituting a dress code for PARENTS that includes no bonnets, leggings, sagging pants, shower caps, pajamas or hair rollers.
There are two schools of thought about what exactly this means. Some think this is necessary for parents to present themselves well for their children. Others think this is anti-black and targeting black parents and delving into respectability. This has sparked a civil war on Twitter and things are going left.
Take a look…
If my mom ever showed up to my school in a bonnet I’d call acs on her

Y’all are *really* mad at the principal for saying don’t being your asses in my school’s office in your bonnet and durag. Is it really so horrible to teach your kids that some attire is not acceptable in public or professional settings?! What am I missing??!

I have never gone to my daughter's school in a scarf, bonnet, robe, etc. I was not raised in a barn. This isn't an anti-black policy, it's anti-trash.

"Hi, ma'am, according to the new school dress code, I can't allow you to drop off your kids with the bonnet on. You will have to go home and come back in business attire to do that." pic.twitter.com/8KXlf5c9CG

I'd show up in a damn bonnet everyday and dare them to not let me get my child from in that school

Unpopular opinion: I agree with the dress code. Hell yall don’t have normal, presentable clothes to put on before coming up to a SCHOOL? She didn’t say dress up, but it’s nothing to look decent. Come on now. Everything isn’t “anti-black”. Y’all arguing against having class. https://t.co/c4eUsEw597

A dress code for parents at a public school just seems all types of pointless. How do you turn away a parent at a public school who isn’t disrupting the school environment?

Since when do you have to meet the schools dress code to pick your damn kid up? This is not a police state yet, but it's getting damn near close to one. I can't stand this kind of BS fake respectability crap. https://t.co/vQL2OCR22X
