Dear Lakewood Scoop

Thank you so much for stepping up and taking on the Kedusas Yisrael proper dresscode initiative.

My kids came home today with a report that made me realize this initiative needs to expand asap to more than just store employees.

We have a nice bus driver and we truly appreciate that she drives them home safely every day.

But they came barreling into the house horrified at her code of dress (or shall I say “lack thereof”???) which certainly did not befit one that is transporting our little neshamalas…

They described what seems to be weather appropriate for one that is not part of Am Yisrael with way too much exposure for our children.

This. Is. Not. Ok.

I think we all as parents need to respectfully demand that our bus drivers be at the least covered in some sort of sleeves and pants or appropriate skirts. A uniform, even better.

If the store employees must be kept modest, how much more the people that drive our kids daily.

What they do in their own time is their own business. What they do when theyre with our kids, thats our business.

I would like to utilize this also as an opportunity to THANK OUR AMAZING DRIVERS, as my children have been lucky enough to have kind and helpful drivers over the years. I know that not all experiences have been great but there are many great bus drivers and we got to know several of them!

All the best,
Concerned Parent
