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?"

What your describing is basically pornography.
Sexual liberation is female empowerment? Ha, don't make me laugh, that's just some bs nasty little boys come up with to further coax dumb tw@ts to show their titties.
I consider it sad, but it's the way society has progressed. So I wouldn't presume to judge very loudly. But it does encourage unwanted consequences of a life-changing nature.
It is a high school after all, but what do I know?
I get the rebelling against the dress code, but I'm sure they could come up with a better, more creative (and classier) way than "slut Wednesday."
And those girls are neither sexy or slutty! Have they reached puberty yet? The guys just look effeminate.
non-business settings. School is a place of business, and while I favor permitting the
young ladies and young gentlemen to wear shorts in school, especially during warm
weather, they need to be professional length, professional style, and professional color
and/or color pattern. When I went to school, T-shirt screens were limited to school, dis-
trict, or school approved logos only. I know that comfortable student attire is essential
for learning (an uncomfortable pupil is definenately a hindered pupil), there needs to be
a limit on just how far a student should go towards attaining that goal. Next thing you
know, students will start showing up for class in bikinis. Then when that is no longer
comfortable enough, what next? Young ladies showing up for class bare ass in midriff
bareing tops or even completely nude except maybe for shoes? Although that would be
nice in some ways, folks, that ain't gonna happen just yet. We need to draw the line somewhere for these minor ladies and gentlemen. They need to wait until they turn 18
years of age and sucessfully graduate before wearing anything, anytime, anyplace,
anyway their little hearts desire. They are then free to do so at college or ...

them religiously.
