This headline caught my attention:
City: Workers Must Wear Underwear
Deodorant Also Included In Florida City's Revised Dress Code
Here's the report:
The Brooksville city council recently approved a revised dress code as part of its effort to update existing policies.
The revision instructs employees to observe "strict personal hygiene," including the use of deodorant. It lists "the observable lack of undergarments and exposed undergarments" as "unacceptable attire."
It also prohibits clothing with foul language or messages promoting drug use, "sexually provocative" garments, halter tops and piercings anywhere except the ears.
Repeat offenders can be fired.
The city council approved the dress code 4-1. Mayor Joe Bernadini opposed the revision, saying the underwear edict "takes away freedom of choice."
There's a couple of things I would like to comment on concerning this very touchy subject. In fact Mayor Bernadini was so adament to his stance of opposing the council vote, he pulled his trousers down at the meeting's end to prove "he had a choice".
Next, I began to read many of the reader comments and you would be amazed the flood of voices that rose to resent the "rights" that were being violated now that these new rules will be put in place. I decided to help show WHY these rules were drawn up to start with:
