There will come a day when young women are able to exist comfortably in public space without persecution or harassment. Please, teach our young men to respect women as equals, and to hold themselves accountable for their actions. Fememinine bodies are not a distraction, and those that claim they are pertpetuate conformity for the benefit of men. For the sake of youth, abolish sexist body policing in institutions for good.

I don't go to your school but I go to a school in North Carolina with a similar dress code. Hopefully both of our dress codes will change.

If you are leading you educational centres into this sort of debate / territory then you are doing a very bad job indeed. These young people need to be shown how the educate themselves and how to behave and respond in a increasingly conflicted and complex world, this distraction and humiliation that affects the debate and sphere of equality for both male and female young people is not useful.

This is so true; if all the girls in high school protested things like this, it would go a long way to eliminating rape culture.

Totally agree about comfortable clothing and better learning environment. Having worn a school uniform for 13 years, then at College/University in clothes I wanted to wear, can I tell you what a world of difference it makes!
