We're trying to teach her to be a lady and ladies do not wear pajamas to school or work or any other public place.

It's becoming obvious you're trolling. I just don't get what's getting you off with it though. That's why people still think you're being serious because we're not getting the humor.

The University of Illinois State said, after a new dress code was instituted at the school and evaluated, that "professionalism exhibited in the class led to a better learning environment, students being better prepared for class, and students being more respectful of one another."

Makes sense to me. One of many good reasons to ban pajamas at school.

Either way, it is a fruitless exercise. if he is joking, then there is no reason to argue. if he is serious, nothing you say will change his mind.

The only real tragedy here in all of this is that he will likley never take his kids to the Museum of Sex on 5th Avenue. Will someone please think of the children?

I have to say, this museum of which you speak does sound rather fascinating...

You do realize that all those reasons you stated have nothing to do with your original premise? Your objection clearly had to do with sexual relations of some degree between your daughter an unrelated males. Otherwise, you wouldn't have made the point that it would be especially bad once she is 16.

I'd also like to point out that even if it were objectively true that wearing pajamas has all those disadvantages, one can be against something without advocating that it be banned.

All the girls in my stake are encouraged to wear pajama pants at girls camp (and this is a real camp, not one of those make crafts and sing cumbaya things, where we hiked this summer for 24+ miles over 5 days/4 nights and camped under the stars every night). They are comfortable, cool and light. So are we teaching the girls not to be ladies? COme on man, you want to help in school? pay attention to curriculum and lobby to try to prevent teachers from wasting classes showing movies of questionabel educational value or somethig like that. Pajama day at Kindergarten is a windmill and you are Don Q.

Look, the articel you cited said that PJs shouldn't be worn on a regular basis and contrasted that to Pajama Day which happneed rarely. Get it?
