Results: Arizona dad strips down to crop top and shorts at board meeting to protest school dress code

Did you have a school dress code at your school growing up?

Ira Latham was among several parents at Higley Unified School District's Sept. 20 meeting to challenge board members on the policy change. The new policy stated that students had to wear clothing that covered "all private body parts and/or undergarments and must not be see-through." "As a parent, I expect the district to be able to enforce policies that help my children be able to go to class and know how they can contribute to a safe classroom environment as well as limiting the needless distractions in class," Latham said. "This policy does not do that," he said. "Because I have no other way to describe my concerns about this policy, I'll do an object lesson," he continued. Latham then stripped out of his shirt and pants down to a black crop top with spaghetti straps and short jean shorts."Now if you ask me, this is inappropriate for a board meeting," he said. "If you have a dress code policy that allows this in a classroom, it does not promote a safe classroom environment, as well as limiting the amount of distractions in a classroom," he continued. He told NBC affiliate KPNX of Mesa, Arizona, this week that he thinks the district needs to be preparing students for entering the workforce and setting the right expectations. Do you agree with Latham that schools should be preparing students for entering the workforce and setting the right expectations, so they should have a stricter dress code?
