Teens in Crop Tops Walk Out of Class to Protest Dress Code

Students at a high school in Sacramento protested a dress code, by wearing midriff-baring tops and walking out of class. A poster announcing the move read, “in protest of the dress code assembly regarding ‘too much mid-drift’ we are all wearing crop tops :) we suggest you do too!” Girls wrote on their stomachs, with messages like “Am I distracting?” Even a few boys got involved. Inside Edition spoke to organizers Alexa MacMurray and Madison Holtfreter, both 17 years old. #InsideEdition

most people with a job have a dress code. Dress code sets the tone in education.

So I don't agree on crop tops for school. But tank tops should be okay for everyone.

[griffintribe]

I support the right to wear whatever you want don't get me wrong, but is wearing that at school necessary?

[shaylinmonk]

American kids more concerned about what they get to wear to school than their actual education. I looked up the education statistics in California. 45th in reading 45th in math and 48th in sat scores among all 50 states.

And here’s me who lives in a third world country protesting about the military coup.

I like how most of these people look like exactly like every tik tok alt girl.

hear me out: its okay to have dress codes but its not ok to say its “distracting” another gender

A wise man once said, “If idiots could fly, TikTok would be an Airport”

I live in Jamaica. We have to wear uniforms. You're lucky you even get to wear casuals to school. Focus on school.

Is this really a topic of discussion. 1st world e-girl problems from high-school kids. Damn and I thought food shortages and the 1984 reminiscent attitudes was important.

Soon people will be protesting for not being able to be naked in school

edit: i may or may not have started ww3 in the replies for making a joke

[Day_God]

I get being rebellious as a teenager, but damn.... is it really that big of a deal?

[baconboysgaming]

Schools reaction to someone getting bullied: 😐
School when the see the wrong dress code: 😡👎

[mr.lebanon]

Lol you can tell that every one that showed up for the protest failed class

[kyliedecker]

It’s not the idea of a dress code that frustrates us it’s the sexism of the system that bothers us. If boys can show their chest and wear tank tops and everything else, why can’t women. “It’s distracting, and inappropriate.” Why isn’t it inappropriate for the males then? Equality for all genders, races, and nationalities should be show cases in schools.

Guess girls aren't the only ones who wear those shirts

[mirajane]

School: we learn here, this is not highschool for models

Students: and I took that personally

[kingcc]

It might seem stupid, but as a high schooler, I totally get it. I've seen girls get in trouble for just showing shoulders, and I find it such a dumb reason to reprimand a student. It's not a job or an interview; it's a public school.

[seahmoon]

the fact that they let students dye their hair like that is more than most schools. My school gave ISS to a girl with pink hair...

[frankie]

Huh? I didn't know this was an actual problem but okay, I guess other countries have differences....
