Title: State Takes Over Arkansas School District That Had To Make Teachers Wear Underwear

Things have gone from bad to worse for the public school system in Little Rock, Ark.

In August 2013, the district announced — to the great dismay of the teachers union — a dress code that would require teachers to wear underwear. Every single day. Female teachers would have to wear bras, too. And the very worst of all: No spandex. (RELATED: Little Rock School District Will Now Make Teachers Wear Underwear)

Now, a mere 18 months later, the Arkansas Department of Education has voted to assume control over management of the school district, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports.

The narrow 5-4 vote on Wednesday by the state school board effectively wrests control of the district from the local school board (but keeps Superintendent Dexter Suggs on the job on an interim basis).

The state school board intervened because the Little Rock school district is home to six schools which are deemed to be under academic distress. Three are high schools. Two are middle schools. One is an elementary school.

The 5-4 vote for a takeover came after state education officials had also voted 5-4 against a compromise plan that would have entailed a state-local partnership.

“At some point you just have to go in a new direction,” board chairman Sam Ledbetter told the Democrat-Gazette.

Ledbetter proved to be the deciding vote on both ballots.

“Bottom line, it was the best thing for students,” board member Vicki Saviers told the Little Rock newspaper.

Greg Adams, the president of the Little Rock school board, expressed disappointment.

“My concern now and my hope is the kids of Little Rock will be served well and that the leadership that’s going to be there will be able to find effective ways for the kids,” Adams said.

The August 2013 announcement of a new dress code declared that “foundational garments shall be worn and not visible with respect to color, style, and/or fabric.”

T-shirts, patches and other clothing containing slogans for beer, alcohol, drugs, gangs or sex were similarly prohibited. Other verboten garments included cut-off jeans with ragged edges and cut-out dresses.

“Tattoos must be covered if at all possible.” No flip-flops. “No see-through or sheer clothing.” No jogging suits, either (though gym and dance teachers got a pass on that one).

In a letter to the teachers union rank and file, local teachers union president Cathy Koehler explained her fear that “if an employee refuses to go home and change they can be considered insubordinate and risk losing their job based on an opinion.

Rules, dress codes and regulations haven't prevented misbehaving teachers......and never will.

But you can use them to make them stop being bad examples to their students.

As opposed, for instance, to the NYC teacher who had AIDS and knew it and was still molesting 7th grade boys, including anal sex. I don't think they ever did fire him, just sent him to a rubber room for bad teachers and paid him $100 grand a year to read magazines and browse porn.

A lot of principals and superintendents would love to get rid of these screwball teachers. But the labor laws and the Lefty types like ACLU defend the bad teachers vigorously.

The first is,how did they know some (all?) of the teachers weren't wearing underwear?

Most likely, sheer blouses that showed nipples and no bras.

I seem to recall teen boys used to notice little things like that.

Unions! I don't believe the ACLU is going to attempt to defend an AIDS infected child molester/rapist.

Here's some cases if you have a strong stomach:

Teacher molested male student, exposed him to HIV, say police (Louisiana, 2014)

HIV-infected teacher's aide accused of molestation (St. Louis, 2013)

Mario Hunt, Illinois Teacher, Charged With Transmitting HIV To Teen (2013)

'Teacher of the Year' nominee indicted for sex with child knowing he had HIV (Georgia, 2013)

Cops: HIV-positive teacher had unprotected sex with student (Richardson, TX, 2014)

There's a list of kids that would have been better off far away from the gayish teachers.

There's a list of kids that would have been better off far away from the gayish teachers.

Kessler admitted to having sex with the boy “at least four times,” and at least once unprotected. The music teacher did not inform the teen of his HIV positive status. Kessler was caught as he attempted to sneak out of the teen’s home, after the teenager’s mother “saw a man leaving her backyard.” She believed the house was being robbed and called police. The 31-year-old woman “was holding Kessler down when officers arrived,” according to the Dallas Morning News. Poster bolded

No doubt about it, though all your examples weren't about gays; Shelley Dufresne, Rachel Respess These two Louisiana teachers at Destrehan High School in St. Charles Parish were accused in September, 2014 of having group sex with a student.

Nowhere did I see evidence that the ACLU defended any of the accused.

The labor lawyers and ACLU-affiliated lawyers often take cases on their own and don't actually act under the ACLU banner publicly.

You have to do some digging to unearth those connections.

Had a woman geometry teacher in Catholic HS who pushed the strict limits there.

That was in the 80s.

Today "professional" women dress provocatively and I don't mean the ones in the oldest profession.

It doesn't matter because in either case they are still white collar professions working in a professional position,and expected to act and dress like professionals.
