Clever mom challenges school dress code policy via malicious compliance, gets the original shirts phased out: 'Admin was furious'

School uniforms are a pain for almost everyone involved. A strict dress code forces students to wear virtually the same outfit every day of the week. This, of course, becomes challenging for kids who want to express their individuality with the clothes they wear. This should be a freedom that students and faculty alike should enjoy.

Speaking of faculty, enforcing a strict dress code is no walk in the park either. Half of the time, these faculty members do not decide on the rules but are required to call out any and all slight violations of said policies. Finally, parents have to endure the arduous task of purchasing multiples of the same few outfits and washing them regularly so that their kids can look the same every day. 

In short, dress codes are not fun for anyone, except for perhaps the traditionally minded board member who refuses to back down on these rules and regulations. Keep scrolling below to see how this mother fought back and succeeded in significantly altering her kid's school dress code!
