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?"

The only thing I have to protest is the name - don't think it's a good idea to associate oneself with the idea of "sluts".
Yes we should be allowed to wear clothes that we feel comfortable in. Yes there should be decorom when we are at work dressed appropriately. But please, these guys are teenagers in their last year of secondary school/high school. Soon to go college or university so why shouldnt thy be allowed.to find sexuality and comfort . THey are brave to take a stand and braveness / boldness is the beginnings to a defining successful career?
Is there a real problem with women "being taken too seriously"?
Not enough sex scandals in the schools these days?
Too much respect for women in today's Society?
Yeah, yeah, yeah "a girl should be able to express herself!"
And a well built, good looking girl, *SHOULD* be able to go into an Outlaw Biker Bar at midnight and have drinks without being bothered too . . .but that's not being realistic either.
It is SCHOOL. You are there to LEARN and start creating a future for yourself; not to dress up like a hooker, start dating some druggie, and begin a life of prostitution. And if clothing really isn't important to you, girls, then stop whining and follow the dress code. Just a reminder, schools have the power to make uniforms mandatory. And we all know how ugly THOSE always turn out to be.
I have been a slut, but NEVER a whore! lol
Took the words right out of my mouth.
