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!
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?"

Why would we encourage greater sexualization of our children when they are already over-sexualized?

French tickler Tuesdays
Slutty Wednesdays
Deep throat Thursdays
Fornication Fridays
Every generation rebels in dress and we can fight that fight all day long or accept that and move on to the bigger picture. Now, of course I belive there should be some form of dress code but most schools are really crazy when it comes to it. We will hand out contraceptives to kids but if a guy wears his baseball cap to school we loose our minds. I like little kids in ball caps it reminds me of the simple days back in the 50s.
1950s My Dad gets in trouble for wearing a plain white tee shirt tucked into his gant slacks because it looks like Elvis Presly and hence he is obviously a hood.
1960s we turn our sites of long sideburns.
1970s Bell bottoms are oulawed in schools.
1980s We get in trouble for wearing our jeans too tight. Flash dance shirts...multi colored skirts...
1990s No holes in the jeans or we send you home.
2000s Pants are too big..(I agree by the way.)
My point is they are kids...You are right...you can not do or dress that way in the real world but school is far from that...I...

My point is they are kids...You are right...you can not do or dress that way in the real world but school is far from that...In some ways nowadays we give kids ridiculas freedom and expect them to act like adults.
And in some ways we give them zero freedom to be little kids.
If the kids in the pics above are real and I have no idea if that is true...they look like silly high school kids not like whores...and you know what perhaps kids are growing up a bit too fast today so silly is ok. They have a lifetime to conquer the world.
Now as for your idiot comment...I wil tell you that one I am myself in education and hence feel that I am a bit of an expert on teenagers. I am very conservative and in fact a member of the GOP and a local committemen...so as far as handouts...I scoff at thee. I hate gov handouts and anything free from the gov.
I am 42 years old...43 on the 27th and guessing that since your name ends in 77 you are no moe than 35 so when you are a bit older and have a bit more real life experience I may take your oppinion of my intelligence seriously.
If you want to debate an adult discuss the point in question...In this case dress code. Don't jump to conclusions based on the answer a person gives to a single question.
Boys too if they think it is cool to look like a stud / slut.
They will learn soon enough just how far it "does not" take them in life.
