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.
Until recently, female students wore leggings with long sweat shirts or jerseys, but the trend to wear them with short shirts or to simply wear shear leggings with exposed rear-ends has proven to be too fashion forward for this principal. 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.
