Mom Calls Out School For Making Her Daughter Adhere To Misogynistic Dress Codes While They Made Masks ‘Optional’

Life’s a two-way street: if you tell students and their parents that an important (and life-saving) school policy is optional, you shouldn’t be surprised when they apply the same logic to all the other policies in place. Hypocrisy and double standards won’t fly.

A feminist mom from Chattanooga, in Tennessee, called out her daughter’s school for being hypocritical after they declared that the mask mandate would be optional and anyone can opt-out of it. She then contacted the school board to opt out of the school’s official dress code that she finds to be “misogynistic and detrimental to the self-esteem of young women.” Of course, the mom’s main goal here was to highlight the importance of wearing masks and to protest the fact that they were made optional.

The mom’s email quickly went viral on Twitter after being shared by The Tennessee Holler and Mark Elliot.

The situation in Hamilton County is quite confusing. Ironically, the Hamilton County Schools webpage notes that face coverings are a must. However… parents still have the ability to opt their children out of wearing them. Thus, the entire policy sounds more like a recommendation rather than an obligation, as the Chattanooga Times Free Press notes.

Mark’s thread on Twitter racked up nearly 60k likes, meanwhile, The Tennessee Holler’s post got almost 30k likes.

According to the Chattanooga mom, it’s best to ....

‘So you’re taking her education away over her dress code?’: Mother sticks up for teen daughter, sparking dress code debate
The principal mentions attorneys in the viral TikTok.


Phil West

A mother of a 12-year-old at a Washington middle school recorded a TikTok of herself arguing with the school principal over her daughter’s alleged dress code violation.

Oh the days of measuring skirt lengths at the homecoming dance...
If only boys knew the comfort and ease of leggings and yoga pants and wore them, they would be off the dress code violation list...
