      1. Back in my day, I remember Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. Off course, Aguilera came back in that pride event, and not in a good way.

        She made her “Dirrty” music video from the 2000s look wholesome in comparison.

  3. The left is pushing their dystopian Handmaid’s Tale future while screeching at the right about it.

    1. The left whatever its issues are not the ones trying to ban abortion.

      No idea what loose dress codes have to with A Handmaid’s Tale.

      1. The left are working hard at turning women into sex and breeding objects, as in the Handmaid’s Tale.

        And if abortions should be safe, legal, and rare, why are they being pushed as a form of birth control while the left pushes prostitution as career choices for young women?

        Better check your song sheet.
        It may be out of date.

        1. No they’re not. Just more fever dreams on your part. In any event, one of the biggest obstacles to sex work freedom is the alliance between 2nd wave feminists and religious harpies.

          1. LOL! You’re hilarious.

            You missed the latest on how the left is pushing sex work as a career?

            Would you marry a retired whore?

          2. “left pushes prostitution”
            ‘No they’re not.’
            ‘sex work freedom’
            Do you read what you type? Clown.

          3. “You missed the latest on how the left is pushing sex work as a career?”

            Some of them are, those are the ones that don’t totally hate freedom and, on this issue, are allies of liberty.

            Like I said, 2nd wave feminists are huge opponents of “exploiting” women because it ‘damages their collective dignity’ or some such tripe and want it illegal.

          5. “one of the biggest obstacles to sex work freedom ”

            Are you talking about prostitution? Then say so. There is no such thing as “sex work”.

          6. Would you marry a retired whore?

            I’m sure that there are many husbands who believe they have.

            A relative of mine was twice divorced. He met wife #1 in university (his mother figuring that the only course they took together was Inter…..) and their marriage lasted 20 years. While he was on the road making a living, she cheated on him.

            His comment to me one time was that she had seen more ceilings than the Sistine Chapel.

          7. “Are you talking about prostitution? Then say so. There is no such thing as “sex work”.”

            Prostitution is a form of sex work you dunce.

      2. Woe vs Wade is finished loser. I should invest in copium as you are snorting it like Plutonian Nyborg.

        1. We’ll see. I mean, that would be the best news the Democrats could hope for. A verifiable Christmas in summer for them.

          If it happens, the demise of RvW will lead to its codification in law, which should have happened decades ago. In the meantime, civilized people simply have to avoid Texas and other areas run by the American Taliban until they are liberated.

          1. How would the demise of roe vs wade lead to codification in law? About 26 states already oppose it and federally you need a 2/3 majority. This is not a Xmas present. Just more polarization of America.

          2. It’s a transient polarization. One of these poles is mostly old men who will die off. I have every reason to believe that the reality of a post-Roe world will see a tidal wave of terrified women running to team blue. It will shift the priorities of a lot of people and with it their political alignment. That will change the map.

            “you need a 2/3 majority”

            For a constitutional amendment. That would be the best form of codification, but it takes less to just put it in federal law.

          3. I don’t see too much tard-raging by the Democrats over Roe v. Wade so more wishful thinking on your part. Snort that copium, boy.

            The Taliban argument doesn’t fly either, because guess who won in Afghanistan.

          4. “The Taliban argument doesn’t fly either, because guess who won in Afghanistan.”

            Oh it flies, you’re just too much of a simpleton to understand metaphor.

      3. Mess with peoples’ kids and all bets are off. And yes, it is going to be very difficult to pull a Margot Honecker on all the parents who disagree with the alphabet cult’s attempts to groom their children into self-destruction.

        1. The Parents today are of my generation ie they rejected homophobia before and will reject this latest hysteria.

          2. I mean, no. It’s backed up by all the data, including a bunch of schoolboard elections that went pretty badly for these ‘concerned parents’ in Wisconsin (IIRC) and a similar group in NH.

          4. The schoolboard elections were not dreams, but for Team Blue, running a campaign on Roe is a dream come true.

  4. Rome fell because of internal strife caused by moral decline. Canada is doing the same. Think about the leaders that we elected and the policies that they are introducing. It is all about division and depravity. Everyday produces more evidence of the decline and it is growing at an ever increasing rate. God save us because no one else can.

    1. Some say Rome fell because they abandoned The Old Gods for the upstart Christ. The internal strife was a symptom, not the cause.

      Some say Rome fell because they worshiped the wrong diversity of supernatural beings available. The pantheon was not representative. Internal strife is a symptom, not a cause.

      What were the Romans doing right where we are doing wrong?

      1. Rome fell when they ran out of good wine. Did you ever drink Chianti in the 70s? QED

        1. I had my first taste of Chianti when I was much younger during the 1970s, either as an undergraduate or a newly-minted B. Sc. I liked it, or so I thought, and considered myself ever so cultured for even knowing what it was.

          Maybe not so much any more. In fact, I can’t remember the last time I had Chianti.

  5. They’re behind the times. High school students have been dressing provocatively–and getting away with it–since I was one myself….. 50 years ago.

    I remember one young lady in Grade 11 or 12 who dressed like a cheap tart. One day, she was at her locker, bent over, and one could see what she had on underneath her miniskirt.

    Ain’t nuthin’ new with me.

    1. I had an ollllld teacher in one of my Freshman HS classes … he had a smallish portable lectern that he spoke from … when the weather got warm, and the girls were wearing short cutoffs and halter tops … he hid his excited state behind the lectern.

      The class would giggle when he refused to step away from the lectern.

      As for myself … I sometimes let my classmates all leave the room before I got up from my desk. You’d almost think the freshman girls knew what they were doing to us normal males… cisgendered males.

    2. I grew up at a time when girls wore tube tops and tiny shorts. At that time, we were also taught that girls should be able to wear what they want without getting harassed. Seems to me the girls of that time did just fine with it.

      When did we become such a bunch of whiners about the simplest things?

  6. I was a teacher in Ottawa until about 10 years ago….. And a couple weeks ago i returned to a high school i had taught at as a volunteer on a field trip for my grade 8 daughters sight seeing tour of where they will be attending next year…

    I can confirm that this is not just the Waterloo board. I was a bit surprised by the manner of dress.

    When i taught, i always talked to students about how they actually do have a career. They are Students, and as such, their workplace is an educational facility. And learning to dress appropriately while still being able to express your individuality is important.

    Seems like schools are more and more going away from the “appropriately” and towards allowing individuals to do what they want. Yes, it was mostly ladies, but there also were some gentlemen dressed in questionable manner.

    Glad i got out… Sad i couldnt stomach staying and keep trying to make small changes to a crazy world..

    1. Bare midriffs and exposed cleavages of breast and buttocks alike coming soon to the office. I’m excited.

      1. Isn’t it the generally unspoken rule that the ones you don’t want to see, (upon pain of death), dressed that way are the ones that always do?

          1. Worse is that much of the apparel that’s made from that stuff is rubbish, being of extremely poor quality.

            I was speaking with someone last night about it. In passing she made some disparaging comments about brands like Lululemon and how shoddy its products are. It doesn’t take much for them to fall apart.

      2. coming soon to the office

        That may likely already be the case.

        About 15 years ago, I had an interview with a certain firm. I showed up dressed properly, including a jacket and tie. The personnel manager, who was young enough to be my daughter came to the meeting looking like she was about to attend a beach party.

        Fortunately, I didn’t get the job. (Oddly enough, she probably worked for me for a while, as a year or so later, that firm was taken over by a company I owned shares in.)

        Then again, I’m old enough to remember when, in junior high school (no, not that dad-blasted “middle school”!), the principal announced that any girl wearing pants would be sent home and allowed to return if she was in a dress or blouse and skirt.

      3. I was involved in a very preliminary investigation at work once back in the 80s at my first real job at a “button down” office (i.e, no suits required), but collared shirts for the guys, business casual for the girls.

        Young lady had been warned, repeatedly, by her female manager, that her club style clothes were not quite what they meant, nicely asked to change, etc.

        Then, of course, the inevitable “old guy looked up my skirt” complaint from Junior Madonna about a guy who, well, was the age I am now.

        Fortunately for him, I was her age and told MGMT that she had told me that “it would be ok if you looked, but not Old Guy”.

        “Case dismissed”, fired for cause, etc.

        1. Then, of course, the inevitable “old guy looked up my skirt” complaint from Junior Madonna about a guy who, well, was the age I am now.

          I worked with female colleagues at Armpit College who were like that. One, in particular, who worked in our office area expected all “real” men to take such a peek. (She was quite the floozy, but that’s another story.)

          Since I knew better than to do that, plus I actually had standards, she came to regard me as, well, you know…..

      4. “Bare midriffs and exposed cleavages of breast and buttocks alike”

        …and thats just the boys!!!!

    2. Glad i got out… Sad i couldnt stomach staying and keep trying to make small changes to a crazy world..

      That was one of the reasons I quit my teaching position at Armpit College 20 years ago. I thought I could make a difference and instill a sense of professionalism. Nope. Nein. Non. Talk about a complete waste of time, particularly if I’m constantly over-ruled by administrators.l

    3. High school graduates are basically useless today. Qualifications to graduate are minimal now, can you count to 10.
      It’s more performance art, than performance oriented.

      1. Yup.

        It’s been that way for more than 30 years. When I started teaching at Armpit College, I had freshly-minted high school graduates who couldn’t do basic trigonometry or algebra. I often spent much of my lecture time teaching them concepts that they were supposed to have known before they started my courses.

        As for useless, I can confirm that as well. Shortly after I started working on settling my father’s estate, I hired a young kid (for well over minimum wage) to cut the lawn at the house and, later, shovel snow. The grass was cut, sort of, though I often had to finish what he missed with a lawn trimmer.

        He fell down on the job as far as shovelling snow (for $20/hr). It seemed that I had to remind him each time that I wanted the front sidewalk to be cleared wide enough so that I could get the garbage and recycling bins out to the street. Similarly, I had to tell him again that I wanted the street sidewalk down to bare concrete. Even though he (reluctantly) agreed to do that, he rarely did. His excuse was, often, “I dunno, I forgot.”

        He quit on me the following year and didn’t even have the decency to tell me himself.

        He graduated from high school last year. God save us all……

        1. Ya. Unfortunately i have too many stories of crappy admin and policies..

          Kid hands in major project. Its cut/pasted literally word for word, and even had the webpage formatting marks. Was told I couldnt give a zero…

          Another kid didnt hand in anything…was told to give them 30% for the course work mark… Huh?!?

          And then there was behavior issues. Discipline is a lost art / science / knowledge in the high school environment…

          So glad i got out, into IT with the Feds…so i could be put on discriminatory LWOP …lol

          Hmmm starting to really question my life choices!! Does anyone know of a remote Light House looking for a caretaker???

          1. Kid hands in major project. Its cut/pasted literally word for word, and even had the webpage formatting marks. Was told I couldnt give a zero…

            I taught courses in both drafting and CAD at Armpit College.

            One day, I get two identical drafting assignments from two different students. It didn’t take me long to figure out that one traced from the other as I could see the pencil mark on the back of the vellum of the copied item. Both got zero after they protested to my department head and I pointed out the evidence.

            Copying was rampant in the CAD course. One dum-dum thought he could pull a fast one by copying the drawing file from his buddy. Mr. Genius didn’t even remove all of the original evidence (the original initials, I think). Caught with his hand in the till, so to speak. As my father would have said in his German-accented English, real schmart.

            Another kid didnt hand in anything…was told to give them 30% for the course work mark…

            We had a young lady in our department at one time. She came over to AC after being given what was called a dean’s vacation after flunking out of engineering at university.

            She dropped out of our department, but in the one course she took from our department head, she got 50%, even though she never finished. The next year, she was back again and–wait for it!–pulled the plug part-way through.

            The last time I spoke to her, she had enrolled in a trade-related discipline, though I never heard whether she finished that.

            One sad aspect to that was that she was no dummy. She was in one of my courses and she seemed to have a good grasp of the material. Her major failing, it appeared, was a lack of self-discipline and initiative.

      1. Arbitrary morality is dumb. It has to make sense. Presbyterian prudishness is the founding bane of Ontario and the main underlying reason it and much of Canada sucks. It’s the reason why the booze laws are so bizarre and only just being reformed as of late in Ontario.

        1. Societal restrictions on promiscuity and premarital pregnancies are not dumb and they are not abitrary, they are in fact incredibly valuable mores.
          Have you never thought about why we have morality?
          HINT: It’s not arbitrary.

          Some homework for you: What percentage of children of single mothers end up as drug addicts or in jail?

          1. We have birth control pills and abortion to deal with premarital or otherwise unwanted pregnancies. No need for silly restrictions.

          2. stan
            Maybe parents should bring their children up in such a manner that schools don’t have to mandate morality, and dress codes. Ever think of that, of have you not raised any kids? Hell, when I drive by a high school, I pray for getting an eye full.

          3. Well, well, then, why don’t the stupid little hoes use birth control, you’re all in favour of it, DingMe! If they can afford a cell phone, they have no excuses, other than being loose, lazy and stupid.

          4. stan
            I have customer who worked in the women’s jail, and abuse is a major factor, most abuse is by family member of a relgious institution

        2. “It’s the reason why the booze laws are so bizarre and only just being reformed as of late in Ontario.”

          Yeah. Fred Eaglesmith (folk singer) has a good bit about “how its Wednesday and because Ontario is still run by the Presbyterians the liquor stores are closed”…anyway, its on one of his self-bootlegged ones.

    2. It may be the dumbest , but only because it’s the dumbest on an increasingly long list of reasons to homeschool rather than pubic school.

      Enjoy your monkeypox.

    3. Leave it to UnMe to forget that this is Canada and abortion is legal here. The Americans are having a debate about a fundamental issue in modern life, Mr. Troll. One side of that debate is running true to form, burning buildings and beating people. That would be -your- side, UnMe. The other side, meaning the vast majority, hasn’t changed their opinion since Roe Vs Wade. Now they finally get a turn.

      We didn’t get to have that debate in Canada. We got a bill run through a majority House and rubber stamped. Fait accompli.

      Euthanasia is legal too, and growing in popularity among the people who pay for old folks homes and all the elderly care in this country. We didn’t get to have a debate about that either, they just did it.

      Don’t I remember that you were for mask mandates and vaxx mandates, UnMe? How do you rationalize that with “my body my choice?” Hmm?

      The slippery slope is pretty much vertical now, here in Canaduh. We’re all going for a ride. Keep your eye open for the sudden stop at the bottom, eh?

      1. “the vast majority,”

        More delusion. The polling is clear that ending Roe is political poison for the GOP. It will get more so as the American Taliban starts sending out DAs and other Panty Inspectors in places like Texas to investigate every miscarriage as a possible ‘homicide’. When cars being driven by a mom and her daughter are pulled over for suspicion of going out of state to get an abortion.

        And contrary to your conservaderp ‘woe is me’ complex, we did have a debate about euthanasia and the side of freedom won. Without the right to end life when it’s no longer worth living, what dignity or freedom can one have?

        “Don’t I remember that you were for mask mandates and vaxx mandates, UnMe? How do you rationalize that with “my body my choice?””

        In some specific cases at some points in time. This squares with transmissible agents of disease being transmissible.

        1. Whatever narcotics you are smoking must be good stuff. Enjoy your dream world and insane fantasies of population replacement while you still can, for a lot of immigrants are bigger homophobes that you can imagine.

      2. hey fantom
        Panty BOY, you git them wheels on that tractor trailer lifted yet?
        Keep your nonsensical word salads for personal use only1

  8. “Time to home school. The Waterloo Board of Education believes its ok for girls to dress like prostitutes.”

    Man, it has been time to home school for 20 years. The schools were no better than daycare in the 2000s and just lately, since 2020 they are actively dangerous to your kid. Even my dorky local high school out in the country has had kids flipping out in the hallways from weird drugs. Not to mention lockdowns and masks etc. Home school your kid!

    On the other hand, girls have been dressing slutty since the 1970s. Just now it’s a problem?

    The Waterloo school board has a lot bigger and worse issues than their dress code or lack thereof. Drag queen story hour for toddlers springs forcibly to mind, as does genderqueer kink lessons AKA “sex-ed” for kindergarten-to-Grade 5.

  9. Uniforms… my kid wears one. I remember the outcry in schools back in my day about ditching the uniform but argument held that uniforms are required in various careers. Now days it seems that uniforms rules in some jobs have become lax while in other employment the uniforms are so extensive for “safety” that people are unable to do their jobs while wearing them. But the point remains that in the case of school, children should be in uniforms as not to have battles between Guess and Tommy Hilfiger distract from obtaining an education (although I really don’t think they are being taught anything worth a crap now)

    1. I went to a school with uniforms. The girls managed to make those slutty too. One of the few things I liked about high school, as I recall.

      One thing in favor of dress codes/uniforms, it gives the kids something harmless to rebel against.

  10. How dare these people at the School Board impose any standards upon their masters?
    If these Masters of the Universe wish to make clothing optional,we should respect their choices.
    Why I forsee a whole new classification of “Studies”.

    The colour, the texture and amazing fit of each Emperor’s New Clothing Choice..now there is a whole new field of Imaginary Studies just waiting for grants and handout.

    What do they,the students, need clothes for?
    They are there to learn,the finest in distilled wisdom that a Public Education System can offer.
    Property in a climate controlled cage.

    All they lack is those wonderful imported students,who are 16 going on 35 to help and comfort these children as they struggle with puberty..
    Forward!.
    The possibility that the most basic of human instincts,might conflict with learning the basic skills of literacy?
    Inconceivable.
    Ask any enlightened School Board.

  11. Last time I checked it was parents who yayed or nayed school attire choices or does Brittainy and Chad tell mom and dad to FO if they disagree? Wouldn’t surprise me.
    School Trustees will perv only because parents let them.

      1. …or not.
        It’s a free country, right?

        The OP sounds more like a Moslem than anything else.

  12. Well … before all us “repressed Presbyterians” showed up on this continent … the free 2-spirited natives only barely covered their genitals … and then primarily for insect and weather protection. You don’t think Capt. Smith was seduced by Pocahontas’s intellectual prowess? The little 12yo girl liked to turn cartwheels naked in the white mans fort. (Yes, there are firsthand written accounts).

    I can’t wait for your 2-spirited PM to return the Canadian village to happy … free … naked cartwheels in the school yard. No more white mans “religious oppression” … let the children express their natural sexuality … Right? Because Truth and Reconciliation?

    1. I can’t wait for your 2-spirited PM to return the Canadian village to happy … free … naked cartwheels in the school yard

      Considering that we’ve seen pictures of him in blackface and, purportedly, him prancing about in Spiderman man’s briefs (while wearing a Tigger hat), it wouldn’t surprise me if he did that as well.

  13. Do adults seriously sit down and discuss whether they want to see teenage tits and undies? Why aren’t they in jail after their chemical castration?

  15. In my middle/high school days, there was no dress code and bras were optional, which us guys did not mind at all.

    (But obviously the rationale for this updated dress code is crap.)

  16. “A long, long, time ago, I can’t remember when….” well actually I can remember when the primary schools taught reading, writing, and arithmetic as a requirement to prepare us for highschool. High school taught more of the same in an effort to prepare us for either university or a blue-collar career. That preparation included how to be appropriately dressed for the endeavor of life. Dress code in the Fifties and Sixties was collared shirts and creased pants, no t-shirts or jeans, for males and dresses or skirts and blouses for females. That of course was when the educators could identify male and female students. As the corporate world is often apt to say, “We’ve come a long way!”, not exactly for the better IMHO!

  17. I think it is time to reintroduce school uniforms. Dress for school should be businesslike. Even t-shirts with slogans are a distraction. The focus at school should be learning– not preening. This decision shows a complete lack of judgement.

    1. “Even t-shirts with slogans are a distraction. ”

      Pffft imagine being this light in the head.

  18. I remember, back in the early 80s, teachers were threatening to strike, so CHCH TV11 out of Hamilton, ON (The great people who gave us The Hilarious House of Frightenstein) sent a reporter to the school to ask the kids what they thought about it. The only people he interviewed were pretty girls is sexy outfits.
    Before that, in the 70s, there was Cherie Currie and The Runaways.
    How a girl dresses is between her and her parents, and not the school’s business, unless they are actually breaking a law, unless, of course, you look on the schools as “co-parents”
