Seems like some conservative religious group is going to sue over that. Can’t have women in pants, after all. ---

Next up is banning makeup, jewelry, shaved limbs, etc. Or maybe requiring them. The people who love freedumb mostly want to take yours. ---

The next line in the dress code: > This provision shall not apply to skirts or dresses worn in conjunction with or as an expression of a student’s sincerely held religious belief. To apply for an exemption, see the campus administrator. So the campus administrator gets to decide. And I’m guessing if your religion doesn’t involve Jesus, it’s not really a religion - Texas, after all. ---

> [@kaylasdad99](#): > > Just out of curiosity, how is sincerity quantified/assessed? > Campus administration may use reasonable and professional judgment in situations regarding dress and grooming as needed. Is this for a public or private school? I’m assuming private since they also disallow visible tattoos (at least if they’re large or a large collection of small ones). What if a kid already has them and then transfers, do they kick them out? On the other hand, my daughter’s high school year book (at least when she graduated a few years ago) had a page FOR tattoos. ---

It always read to me that God was angry at them for putting clothes on, and for being ashamed of God’s handiwork. It just occurred to me: when God appeared to them in the Garden, was God naked? ---

Of course not. He was wearing long white robes. Otherwise, Adam would have known God didn’t have a penis. Why would he? Sex was created for the animals, but God didn’t think to create Woman until Adam complained. Even when God got Mary pregnant with Jesus, Christian doctrine is that it wasn’t by sex. It was a miracle and Mary stayed a virgin.
