 Timothy 2:9 Thou shalt not tuck in your shirt revealing a shapely behind  Frowning

Kids should do as they are told in school, not be using religion as an excuse to be above the rules.

"I feel I am being persecuted for being a Christian," she told the board before the vote. "There will be a day of reckoning, and you will have to answer to God."

If I ever get hauled in for murder, I'll try and put a scare in the jury as well.

I like the bit about not being able to go to church as she hasnt got a nice dress!! She should find one where you can wear jeans,and where no one minds that you dont have a new dress.I wear jeans usually.
I did thnk it maybe a bit over the top when I heard that her daughter is only 7, and she is extreem, bit I also think that immodesty is a real problem in both the world and the church today. There is a balance however.

Must have been a pretty slow news day in Dallas.

I like the story commenter who pointed out that the Bible verse talks about not braiding the hair but the little girl has braids....  Banging head against wall

If I run up in front of her and tuck my shirt in, would I get arrested for flashing?

taller, better looking and smarter . . .

They turned me loose from the nervous hospital.  Said I was well.  Mmm hmm.

Suffering for your beliefs is called faithfulness, making others suffer for your beliefs is called being a jerk.

His cross, like the ark in the wilderness, is the center around which his people are to encamp; so that they cannot separate into factions, or withdraw from each other, without retiring at the same time from the presence of the cross.

That might be a little goofy, but...

our school system went to a very strict dress code several years ago. The intent was to reduce some of the name-brand competition that goes on, but it backfired. The kids have to wear khakis, plain shirts with at least three buttons, a belt, shoes with socks, and tuck their shirts in.

here's the thing. I'm a big girl. A lot of those kids are big kids. I would be mortified to wear my shirt tucked in, and I would feel immodest if I had to - not because the shirt didn't cover my butt. I felt so sorry for some of those kids. The dress code was absolutely humiliating for a lot of them.

interesting
we will see at judgement day if God see's what she said   as a  legal use of his binding  key.

personaly i would not want to be a unbeliever that she told that to.
Because i know every Christian has the use of Christ's key's.

Count me among the mightiest of sinner's,
for One must bear real and true sins to be saved. God does not save imaginary sinner's. So let your sins be strong but your faith in Jesus ,his blood bought forgiveness for your sin's ---be stronger still.

Obviously we can't see this woman's heart, but it sure seems like she did it all for show.  I guess if there was a rule that my child HAD to wear their clothing in a way that I thought was truly unbiblical and sinful, I would change schools or homeschool.
