'Cover your butts up' Because Leggings Are Not Pants

A high school principal in Minnesota has instructed female students to "cover your butts up." Principal David Adney sent an e-mail to parents advising them that female student attire is "out of control." The principal did not issue a ban on leggings, but urged the students to dress more modestly.

Teachers and school volunteers express concern that the exposed rear-ends are distracting to other students.

In previous years, the Minnetonka school issued directives about muscle shirts, exposed midriffs, and sagging pants.
