High Schools Have Officially Declared War on Yoga Pants

Photo: Students at Western High School in Parma, Michigan won’t be allowed to wear America’s pant du jour when they return to school in September: yoga pants are officially banned.  Administrators revised the student handbook this summer, focusing on the dress code section that now bans yoga pants, leggings, and stretch pants from being worn to school when it starts on Tuesday, September 8, according to mlive.com. "We are not trying to impart style on our students,“ superintendent Mike Smajda said of the new rules, which also apply to Western Middle School. "We just want to eliminate disruptions and distractions.” Various other addendums have been made as well, including ensuring that shorts, skirts and dresses are mid-thigh length and formal dresses have to meet similar hem length requirements and not reveal excessive cleavage.  Despite yoga pants’ ever-growing popularity, there’s still a lot of backlash—and not just on school grounds. In February, a Montana lawmaker introduced House Bill 365 in the House Judiciary Committee that proposed extending the state’s indecent exposure law to include clothes that expose the nipples or give the appearance or simulate a person’s buttocks, genitals, pelvic area or female nipple. "Yoga pants should be illegal in public anyway,“ the legislator said.
