The latest Daily Caller, Inquisitr and Fox headlines scream out, "State Takes Over School District That Had to Make Teachers Wear Underwear."
I don't know about you, but seriously? I'm for the teachers and all, but teachers not wearing underwear? You people have lost your minds! You're supposed to be teaching basic chemistry, not Basic Instinct. And, everybody knows you've got to wear a bra, when you're teaching algebra!
In other news... what? ...There's more to the story? Shut the front door!
It turns out, that never was a case of a teacher not wearing underwear in the school district in question. Yes, teacher unions often object to dress codes because they are degrading, not because they have an objection to their specific contents... such as wearing underwear.
For example: If I'm a sheep-sheerer and you're my boss, I might object if you post a rule on the wall that says "no __ ing the sheep." Not because I want to __ the sheep, but because your rules makes it sound like I do.
You don't need to make a rule banning every ridiculous behavior that might randomly float into someone's mind, because doing so is not only unnecessary when you're dealing with a group of well-trained professionals, but it’s also is inherently humiliating to infer that employees need to be told to wear underwear.
Such ridiculous rules are not by accident, however. They are tee balls set up to feed the narrative that public schools are out of control... the school "had to make teachers wear underwear" for crying out loud!
