Stop the enforcement of unnecessary dress code in schools against girls

Created by S.K. on May 28, 2014

Everyday in America, thousands of girls are sent home from schools because their choices of clothing are found to be "distracting" or "inappropriate". This is putting men's education in front of women's. A girl should not be forced to miss out on important schooling because a high school boy finds her shoulders distracting. This is sexualizing young girls in situations that are not sexual, and enforces gender roles and gender stereotypes.
