Big rubber orbs

Breaking important news of the day:  "School board won’t stop transgender Oakville teacher from wearing provocative clothing" (Pereira).  Great bureaucratese: 

"“Finally, and most importantly, we note that if the employer desires to foster a culture of professionalism, respect, equity and inclusion, a truly reasonable and non-discriminatory dress code or grooming standards would most likely fail to yield the intended results,” the report concludes."

Did anyone actually read that sentence and realize it means the opposite of what they think it means?  If I reverse it I get:  "A truly reasonable and non-discriminatory dress code or grooming standards would most likely fail to yield a culture of professionalism, respect, equity and inclusion".

"US threatens traditional Russian values – Putin".
