Talibanism in schools

These days, most of the government schools wouldn't let mothers of school children to come inside the school premises unless they are wearing sarees (Kandyan or Indian version). The reason given is that certain dresses worn by mothers are provocative so it disturbs the students. (especially boys.) But does this mean that all women's clothes except sarees are provocative? Also, why does this only apply to women? Why is that there is no dress code for men (fathers). If they bring a dress code for fathers also, then would that mean all the fathers would have to wear sarongs? Scary!

Do these school administrators who have imposed these unofficial dress code for women think that the school boys get teleported from their homes in to the schools? (like in Star Trek) The school boys usually walk or take the bus to school. And on their way, they would pass hundreds of women everyday and the majority of whom would not be wearing sarees. All this reminds me of Taliban.
