We are not objects. We are not sexual beings. We should not be looked at as such. We should not be forced to hide our bodies, because of the “distraction” of learning that we cause. Why is my shoulder a distraction? Why is my body a distraction? If the temperature is uncomfortable, we should be able to dress accordingly. We should not have to come to school in fear of being dress coded and suffer discomfort. Leggings are not risque. A tank top (NOT NOODLE STRAP) are comfortable in 90 degree heat, with no air conditioning. Sports Shorts (running shorts) should NOT “push the limit”. When its hot, we should dress accordingly, when it’s cold, we should dress accordingly. If it’s “That time” We should be comfortable. And if “professionalism” is REALLY the problem, why are pajamas allowed? We are not a distraction and we deserve the right to get and education and be comfortable.

The momentum is incredible. It is clear that we are all tired of the current dress code.

By doing this, you are sending the wrong message to young ladies. They are not a distraction, and you are teaching them to be ashamed of their bodies. You are also laying the pretense that it's acceptable for young men to behave inappropriately based on a ladie's attire. Bad move....
If they taught boys the right way to treat females in a school environment, they wouldn't be so distracted, I think it's more distracting to the student being pulled out of class to change. If it's completely inappropriate yes, but otherwise leave kids alone n let them learn in what they are comfortable in!!
If they said the same thing to boys or men. I wouldn't be no where near bothered. I see boys shirtless at practice, gym or roaming the halls. No one said a word. They wear shorts and tank tops. We hear nothing but silence. Those football pants omg. They should be wearing hammer pants the way they enhance their derrière.lol
I remember going to BSHS and being shamed by staff for *possible dress code violations. I never broke any rules, just had staff tell me how close to breaking the rules I was. Pretty sure they were just talking about my body. Not ok. No one, especially male staff should ever have the right to talk to young girls about how they look.
Women are not sexual objects. My shoulder is a joint and my legs are for walking.
Body shaming is not ok
School TEACHERS bullying young kids over an appropriate outfit is NOT fair

Girls are not objects. By sending a girl home for her pants; her shoulders, her collarbones, her skirt length, you are teaching her that a boys education is more important than hers. You are teaching her that she will always be seen as an object, and that it's okay for people to objectify her. A girls education is just as important as a boys; and her outfit should not impact that. If teachers are sexualizing young teens bodies, we have another issue on our hands.
