The Manchester, New Hampshire school committee voted 11-1 Saturday to enact a strict new dress code for that bans 15 clothing items. Anyone who violates the dress could face disciplinary action.
School dress codes aren’t that unusual, you might say. So why have we bothered telling you about this one? Because the code is aimed at teachers, not students.
Here are the articles of clothing that have been banned:
- Jeans
- T-shirts that have writing, pictures or are considered underwear
- Tank tops
- Shorts
- Sweats, wind suits and gym clothes
- Spandex
- Flip-flops
- Sneakers
- Tops that are low-cut, cropped, tube or have spaghetti straps
- Sheer clothing
- Short skirts that are more than 2 inches above the knee
- Skirts with front slits more than 2 inches above the knee
- Clothes with holes
- Pajamas
- Facial piercings
We can only assume that those dedicated teachers who wore pajamas to school were simply attempting to bring efficiency to the act of sleeping with their students.

Well, at the risk of dating myself, waaaaayyy back in the day (late 60's) there was a dress code at the public ELEMENTARY school I attended and although they didn't ban tube tops (not invented yet!), dresses and skirts could not be above the knee.
If you were suspected of violating said code....stay with me here...you had to kneel in front of the (male) principal and if the hem didn't touch the ground, you were sent home to change! There were teachers that got nailed too! Married ones at that! Scandal, I tell you! The tongues were a-waggin' at recess, for sure! LOL!
I can't even begin to fathom the gigantic settlement that would be awarded today if a male principal demanded a female student (or teacher) kneel before him!
That being said, I've seen some pretty skanky and slacker get-ups worn on both sides of the teachers' desk, so I guess I can't blame them for trying to keep it clean and G rated or hell, even PG-13! Although what the hell is a PE teacher SUPPOSED to wear but tennis shoes and gym clothes? Sheesh!
Thankfully, it appears that the thong look and muffin top era is over...for now, anyway!
It brings new meaning to the phrase, "Excellent, Smithers!"

Man Miss Smithers would have been great when I was in high school. Alas all my female techers were fugly.
Obama would never make it in this New Hampshire district because - suddenly - everyone's discovering the Emperor has no clothes.
