In short the problem is the "everything goes" attitude

Who is promoting an "everything goes" attitude? Was the school proposing to have no dress code at all? What specific suggested change in the dress code is the issue here?

This whole "we can't let students come to class on their underwear" argument doesn't hold any water if the new rules wouldn't allow it either.

While they don’t specify the new rules, there are a few clues in the arguments made to defend it:

Teachers shouldn’t be measuring clothing. This implies the new rules are not based on any kind of measurement
That leaves binary states of whether X body part is covered
The article states that exposing the midriff is among the newly-allowed items
They also argue for leaving it to the parents to decide what’s appropriate. This actually seems to imply the new rule is “anything goes [so far as school enforcement is concerned]”
