This one was actually from the museum where I work. I'm glad I wasn't present for it.

How in the holy hell can you forget about your son in a place like that? Sounds like this mom is the neglectful type.

Well considering FSTDT disowned us, we can hardly call it the "main page" now :P
God dammit I hate that they did that.

That could perhaps go in "Worst of Social Justice".

My apologies if this hits a little too close to home for a few posters here (it concerns a school's dress code):

See, that's sensible, to me.

The dress code? As I recall at least one poster here has noted the issue with a "no cleavage" code: anyone with a large bust is basically forced to wear turtlenecks, even in hot weather.

Exactly. I've seen two different people wear the exact same shirt (because they're besties or whatever) and only one of them gets written up for violating dress code. What I've learned is that if you're a D cup or bigger, your options are carefully selected t-shirt, turtleneck, or sweatshirt. (There's also the option of sucking up to a dress code nazi so s/he'll bother somebody else, but that would be wrong.)

I'd like to clarify, since my dad taught for 30 years and he saw all manner of stuff, teaching boys and girls from middle school to high school.  He basically ignored the dress code if a T-shirt would have been fine on a smaller-chested girl, and it didn't work for someone that had a larger chest.  He just didn't give a shit about the dress code, because he knew it would be fine if their proportions were different (say, if the girl was six inches taller), and there was no arguing with genetics sometimes.  He even argued with the principal, the vice principal and the superintendent on more than one occasion and actually got suspensions overturned in more than one instance as a result of his logic.  The girls always thanked him for sticking up for them.


... He still didn't put up with girls who tried to get away with wearing half-shirts or tops.  Either you wore a sensible shirt, or he broke out the school jerseys.  If you were involved in his classes, you dressed decently.  Same with the guys who tried going shirtless because they had the physique for it.  He didn't put up with that either.
