A representative from Tennessee is planning to introduce a bill for schools statewide that would make parents and visitors follow a dress code when visiting campuses.

Rep. Antonio Parkinson (D-Tenn.) is drafting the bill in response to concerns from parents, educators, and principals about visitors who show up to their children’s schools dressed inappropriately.
