Newly issued guidance on dress code at Anne Arundel Circuit Court outlines a policy that regulates men’s and women’s clothing in an effort the court’s clerk said keeps the office “professional and consistent.”

The policy outlined in a memo sent to employees of the Clerk of the Circuit Court’s Office by newly elected clerk Scott Poyer on Jan. 29 outlines how Poyer interprets what appropriate dress for the office is as dictated by state statute.

Well you know how African Americans dress. In this county that's all they have.

Damn , I can't wear my pants down to the bottom of my butt. The ladies can't wear skin tight garments to influence the court.

Just because a guidance is issued doesn’t mean it will be followed. I work for Social Services and you should see some of the “get ups” worn around there. It’s like walking through Walmart.

But it is my God given right to wear my pants below my ass. I have some pretty snazzy underwear and how else am I gonna show them off?

Northwest Woodsman: I don’t see any African or Muslim modes of dress. Bet there will be complaints from butt hurt usual suspects about the lack of clothing diversity. Should make them all wear green jumpsuits so they can be distinguished from inmates wearing orange.

8:37, that is not "playing the race card", that is called stereotyping.

Grow up and dress appropriately for work. If there is a code, adhere to it. If you don't like it, work somewhere else. Tell the younger generation, while you are at it, that casual dress does not include jeans and tennis shoes, and t-shirts. That's ballfield attire and the like.

Appreciate what they seek to achieve which is more professional attire. Will be a losing cause. Uniforms would be a less contentious solution. Polo shirts with logo and khaki or dark slacks would be very easy and worth the cost.
