A Texas high school has found itself in hot water after refusing to allow a student to enroll because of how her mother was dressed.

School officials at James Madison High School in Houston made the decision after the student’s mother arrived to enroll her wearing a Marilyn Monroe T-shirt dress and head scarf. The mother said that when she asked to see a dress code that allowed school officials to do this, they responded by calling the police to remove her from school property.

I really think it was discriminatory, the language that was used,” Tomiko Miller, the student’s mother, said afterwards. “It was demeaning. And I’m African American — and if it’s misty outside and I have a hair bonnet on, I don’t see how that’s anyone’s business.”

The next day, school officials posted a new dress code to their website that was aimed at parents rather than students.

“Parents, we do value you as a partner in your child’s education,” the principal wrote in the memo. “However, please know we have to have standards, most of all we must have high standards.”

The memo went on to say that school officials will turn away any parents who show up wearing items such as pajamas, leggings, hair rollers, or hair bonnets.

“No one can enter the building or be on the school premises wearing a satin cap or bonnet on their head for any reason,” the principal continued. “You also cannot wear a shower cap of any kind in the building. “You are your child’s first teacher. We must have high standards.”
