HS Principal to Students: No Leggings unless you're a size 0 (1 Viewer)

[Optimus Prime]

A South Carolina high school principal is under fire for allegedly telling students that they can’t wear leggings “unless you are a size 0 or 2.”

Heather Taylor of Stratford High School held assemblies with 9th and 10th grade students on Wednesday to inform them of the dress code. Her announcement was caught in an audio recording shared with WCBD.

“I’ve told you this before, I’m going to tell you this now, unless you are a size zero or two and you wear something like that, even though you’re not fat, you look fat,” Taylor allegedly says.

Her words caused an outrage in the school community, with parents speaking out on social media and calling Taylor out for body shaming. PEOPLE has reached out to Taylor for comment................

Kinda thinks someone needs at least a paid vacation. If a student was doing that they would be in all kids of trouble.

The principle should be stripped naked and made to walk through the student body to the chants of "Shame".

Came here fully expecting it to be a male principal. That would be a very different conversation.

I don't know how much they paid her for that episode, but it probably wasn't enough.

I assumed that also when I saw the article title - was surprised to find that it was a woman who'd you'd think would be more sensitive about such things

If you are large they stretch thin and are see thru

 

[guidomerkinsrules]

i think you mean "ex-principal"

men don't really think and talk in women's sizes - that's a completely mysterious algebra that we're not equipped to comprehend

Why do they allow them at all?

And how stupid is this principle that she didn't know this would cause an outrage?

Whose the fashion police to decide if they can or can't?

Apparently the dumb-a principle who made the comment. Also, leggings---as I recall from the early 80's----were worn around the lower legs and calf area. Now if she was referring to yoga pants, then those may become see-through if someone chose a size too small. I can't understand why anyone would want to look at someone who is a size 0 or 2 in yoga pants anyway.

That's one of those did I say that out loud moments.

You're thinking of leg-warmers. Leggings and yoga pants are similar in that they're both form fitting, but leggings are more for casual wear while yoga pants are athletic wear.
