But I thought we were supposed to bend at the knees!
Because your ability to learn is entirely linked with waht you are wearing.
meh, retracted, being meanâŚ
So, wait. She told the girls they should âbe preparedâ to bend over, as a way of calling out girls whose clothes she finds inappropriate. But in Boingboingistan, that means she âasked girls to bend over.â
Am I a jerk for thinking those are not the same thing?
Yeah, pretty much.

So this morning Bass followed up, unannounced. According to Stephanie she asked just the girls to stand up while she did a dress code check, even asking some of the girls to bend over. Stephanie was singled out because in Bassâ opinion her dress was too short. Bass says, âIf youâre not comfortable with bending over, we might have a problem.â
Emphasis mine.

Bass (who calls herself âMama Bear Bassâ)âŚ
Looks more like a cougar
no, IMO her hairstyle resembles that of the supposed skank she so disapproves of.
OK, the idea of her hairstyle resembles something a skank might have.
If sheâs allowed to judge people on their outfits, can they judge her on her haircut? Because good lord, if ANYTHING should be against policy, that do ought to be.
If the parents get their way, school will soon Drop the Bass.
Clothing is just another way these moneyed snobs show their privilege.
Mandatory nudist colonies are the natural, communal, and correct direction for the human race.
Not for me though, my body is in terrible shape.
âClassyâ is the single-most self-negating self-description ever. If you have to call yourself âclassyâ you arenât.

At my high school, they made girls kneel on the floor so they could measure the length from the floor to the hem of the skirt. In retrospect, I donât think that was really about dress codes. I think that was about sagging middle aged teachers subjugating adolescent girls in the most humiliatingly sexualized way they could.
If any teacher or administrator makes my son or daughter kneel or bend over (for any reason), it will be a big problem.
