A MAMA bear has claimed that her daughter’s school has an odd dress code requirement in place.
In a social media clip, Jennie Allyn shared that her daughter isn’t able to wear a particular type of jeans to school – and it’s not why you’d think.

“Good morning, dress code mom here. These are the pants that my daughter wore to school yesterday,” Allyn began in a TikTok video.
She moved out of the frame to reveal jeans with various rips and distressing.
“Yes, they are shredded. These are against dress code, because of – not the shreds – but because of the skin underneath,” she explained.
“So this is how to get away with wearing these pants to school,” she said before diving into her solution.

“You get away with it by wearing something underneath, and in this case it is flesh-colored tights.”
It seems that the students go to great measures to get around the dress code as well.
“Sometimes the kids will put post-it notes under the shreds in their pants, they will put paper under there so their skins not showing,” Allyn shared.
“So to be clear, it’s not about the shreds in the pants. It’s not about looking unprofessional, it’s about showing skin.
“And ironically, if they are showing skin under their jeans, then they will be sent to the office, and many times they come back wearing shorts,” Allyn claimed.
“So yeah I get it, rules are rules, teach your kids to be respectful. Mine are very respectful. I have great kids.
“They have never gotten in trouble. They do follow rules. But do I teach them to push back when they aren’t reasonable? Yes, I do.”
Some viewers in the comments section of Allyn’s video were on her side, like one who wrote: “Jennie I love that you are doing this! Rules are important but crazy ones that make no sense are not necessary.”
One particular commenter was upset that their school also had an issue with torn jeans.
“My school won’t even let us wear jeans with patched-up holes… Smh I hate dress codes,” they wrote.
