Wasn't there a time, not that long ago, when student protests were, you know, about something? In New York City's legendary Stuyvesant High School, kids are bucking the administration en masse and taking on another critical issue: dress codes. They fought back hard recently at new regulations in a campaign they called "Slutty Wednesday," during which they wore risque outfits to school and passed around flyers that said "Redress the Dress Code." Edgy!

slutty wednesday

Some of the draconian rules the brave students are protesting require, according to The New York Times that any sayings and illustrations on clothing should be in “good taste.” Another calls for shorts, dresses and skirts to extend at least beyond the fingertips when arms are extended straight down. A third bans the exposing of “shoulders, undergarments, midriffs and lower backs.”

“We work our asses off here and school is about learning. Clothing is not important,” ninth grader Lucy Greider told The New York Post. Some of the boys protested the new rules as well, claiming offense that the administration assumed they were unable to control themselves in the presence of girls in short skirts, and definitely not because they want to see girls in short skirts. So what do you think about "Slutty Wednesday?"

    This is why I think they should enforce stricter dress codes and maybe school uniforms if need be.

    Actually....if you think those outfits are "risque",,,, you've been living a really weird cult where they make women wear potato sacks head to foot.....otherwise they look pretty normal..... Its called a "non-event".....

    I think it's great that they are standing for their rights, it's great that they are making a statement. But then again, school is a place to "learn" and should be treated with respect, the dress code is a way to keep focus. Trust me, I went to a school with a uniform policy and NO BODY ever told me my skirt was weird, they were all the same. Those are the kind of conflicts that dress codes in school represent.
    Other than that I think a dress code is a little "extreme", like some guys said, they can control themselves, and as the girl said school isn't to show off. Some girls do use school as an excuse to dress slutty and get looked at but in general, those that matter have education in mind and actually want a damn job, they don't have to wear button shirts and long skirts to learn.

    As for walking about casually down the street, dressing slutty gets you these dirty looks either perverted or disgusted, THAT I think is wrong, the street may be a public place but it is everyones place. They could do like a march on Wednesday, Slutty Wednesday March maybe? hahaha x]

    First of all they don't seem very slutty to me. Second of all calling something slutty that isn't is going to get the opposite of intended results.

    I think that if they want to dress like a slut. Then they should stand on a main street corner and sale themselves like the common prostitute. No complaints when they are offered less than what they thought they were worth..

    Sorry, but dress codes are a part of life. You will have to follow one where you work, when you go into businesses, when you go to restaurants, that is just life. Children don't need to be sexualized anyway. School is a place to learn and meet friends, not to show skin. Follow the rules. None of the rules I read seem too strict. Following rules and being decent, are things children should learn early.

    if thats what slutty is considered .. then by all means dress like that.
    i think the dress code was put in place so girls would learn to respect themselves....

    We need real 'dress codes' in school, all grades. Learn to dress appropriately so you can get a summer job or permanent job after school.

    There's no reason for this in a school setting. The purpose of school is to receive an education not too dress as inappropriately as possible. This type of behavior is why I removed my children from the public school system!

    What's inappropriate is adults allowing 16-year olds to dictate what they will and will not do. When they are adults and paying their own way, have at it. Until then, not so much.

    This goes beyond the simple dress code issue. This is inappropriate because it is teaching these kids that they are above the rules. At this stage in their life they need to continue to learn to obey the rules.

    Just what I was thinking! If they dress inappropriately any other day of the week, the teachers/ principal could confront them with, "Young lady, today is not Slutty Wednesday."
