Some people are just so uptight!

And that was definitely the case in this story from Reddit’s “Malicious Compliance” page.

It all started when a parent got a phone call from school about their son.

That one time my son was sent home because of dress code violation at school.

“When my son was in middle school, I was notified he had to be picked up because he was in violation of the school dress code. I asked what the issue was and on the phone was told “He’s wearing a shirt that shows something naughty”.

I freak out and rush to the school, my mind whirring as to what he possibly could have worn…none of his clothes that I knew of had something naughty on it.

And then they saw what the folks at the school were so worked up about.

As he gets in the car, I see “violation”. He wore a t-shirt with Bruce Lee on it from “Enter the Dragon”. When I got home, I called to confirm this was why they sent him home. Sure enough, a “topless” Bruce Lee’s bare chest sent someone clutching their pearls, apparently.

So they fixed that problem in a jiffy and off their son went back to school!

A quick stop to the craft store followed. Using puffy paint, I superimposed a lovely bikini top to cover Bruce’s chest. He wore the shirt to school again and nobody dared say a thing, lol.”

Let’s see what people had to say about this.

I love this story!

And I love this parent’s response!
