In August 2013, the Little Rock school district mandated a new dress code which, among other clothing items, required women teachers to wear panties and bras every single day
On August 29, 2013, the Superintendent of the Little Rock, Arkansas school district sent a letter to all district employees mandating a new dress code.
Here are the dress requirements for female teachers:
Teachers shall wear panties and bras every single day. Foundational garments shall be worn and not visible with respect to color, style, and/or fabric. No see-through or sheer clothing shall be allowed, and no skin shall be visible between trousers, skirts, and blouses at any time. T-shirts, patches and other clothing containing slogans for beer, alcohol, drugs, gangs or sex will also be prohibited. No cut-off jeans with ragged edges, cut-out dresses and spaghetti-straps if teachers aren’t wearing at least two layers. No flip-flops. Tattoos must be covered if at all possible. No jogging suits, except for gym and dance teachers in the performing of their duties. No spandex.
I don’t know whether that draconian dress code is still in effect. I rather doubt it.
Now let’s pretend that I am a senior in a high school with such a teacher dress code in effect. Here are my reactions as a 17-year- old student:
Teachers shall wear panties. Fuck!
Teachers shall wear bras. Fuck, no more nipples poking through!
No see-through or sheer clothing. Shit!
No cut-off jeans with ragged edges. Damn it!
I want my parents to move to California ASAP! I hear that women teachers there are allowed to wear suggestive clothing with no panties, and best of all, a lot of them are fucking their students.
Seriously though, it’s hard for me to fathom such a draconian dress code in these days and times. Of course, that’s Arkansas! And then again, those are not Bill Clinton’s idea of dress codes. If the former President and Governor of Arkansas had his way, teachers would not be wearing panties and bras, but they would be wearing see-through and sheer clothing and those hot cut-off jeans with ragged edges.
It should be noted that on Wednesday (January 28) the Arkansas State Board of Education voted to take over the Little Rock district and dissolve the local school board. But that had nothing to do with that dress code. It had everything to do with the fact that six schools in the district were not academically up to snuff.

No nipple outlines? That's going too far!
It must have looked like a Breastaurant at school.
All my teachers were mean and scary. Kids have it made today and I'm jealous!
You know Howie, I think those Neanderthal reactionaries down there have some bizarre idea that maybe teachers are in school to teach and not run a fashion show or May to December dating program. If this keeps up they will demand that students actually learn how to read, write and do basic math.
