A high school’s new dress code bans leggings, pajamas and silk bonnets — for parents

“To many parents, KTRK reported, the dress code appeared to be laden with racial undertones. For one thing, it didn’t apply to the whole school district, just to one high school with a majority of minority and low-income students. According to the Houston Independent School District, 58 percent of the students at Madison High School are Hispanic, and 40 percent are African American. Nearly three-quarters of the students are eligible for free and reduced-price lunch.”
