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?"

    It's SODAHEAD, not a college paper. Spelling mistakes on the Internet don't mean you don't know how to spell. And it's typo, not "type-o"...how hypocritical.

    This IS SODAHEAD!! Lol It got you to write. I really don't presume to know everything. I just made an observation and rolled with it. The point was to make a comment someone would respond to. Positive or Negative, it started this interaction. Who knows, somewhere down the line you might notice something positive I write and comment back, "Your not as dumb as I thought".Hey.it's possible! Keep an open mind. Thanks!

    Better to concentrate on learning something besides the size and shape of every female butt in your class. It's tough enough to survive in that swimming pool of hormones that exists in high school. They should save the games for after homework. We need some scholastic revival in the U.S.

    exactly its like saying "aint" aint is a slang but people have assigned it the meaning isn't" or like "quiz" and people have assigned it to mean a small test The story goes that a Dublin theatre proprietor by the name of Richard Daly made a bet that he could, within forty-eight hours, make a nonsense word known throughout the city, and that the public would supply a meaning for it. After a performance one evening, he gave his staff cards with the word 'quiz' written on them, and told them to write the word on walls around the city. The next day the strange word was the talk of the town, and within a short time it had become part of the language.

    All I did was make a comment, an opinion, of a truism - that we ARE all sexual beings. Denying it, blocking it, supressing it, oppressing it or preventing it causes all kinds of social & legal problems + it usually leads to people getting raped or even killed. Those who've prophesied consequences as a result of the greater sexual freedom which the young assert - unwanted babies, venereal disease & so on, are usually the very same people who seek the fulfillment of their prophecies by opposing the free availability of contraceptions to the young & the removal of the stigma & mystification that surround venereal disease.

    They can dress the way they want to. They're giving the world exactly what it needs - more beauty! If you don't like it, don't look at them.

    How'd they get to be so cute?! Did they buy it like a suit? Were they hoppin', shoppin', boppin', were they spendin' lots of loot? How'd they get so cute?!
  • War Potato acronom... 2012/06/18 23:27:20

    Err, no. Unwanted babies, venereal disease and rape are consequences of flaunting sexuality, not hiding it... You aren't very likely to get raped if you are unattractive and unsexual.

    Who told you that? Wake up & watch the news. It happens all the time. Rape doesn't discriminate. Venereal disease doesn't discriminate. The rapist doesn't care so much what a person looks like, they have a pattern that they follow. They may just hate certain qualities about someone, just because their hair color, or their race, or their station in life, or what they have or don't have, etc.. Rape isn't about sex, it's a crime of violence.

    sexual desires should be left for after school and weekends but school is serious business and personally i dont think i could consentrate on school work if the girl next to me is half dressed. so your right we are sexual beings. how else would we populate? but sometimes we need to know time and place.

    So we're not supposed to be attracted to people while at school or work? That's stupid.

    but should we show it?? during an important meeting? during a test? during a lecture? probably not.

    Not necessarily awesome but people should have a right to wear what they want. But there are repercussions to that. When your wear skimpy slutty whorish outfits, don't get mad when a guy treats you like a skimpy slutty whore. Also keep in mind that dressing slutty will probably raise your chances of being a rape victim. Or at least getting noticed more than others. It's bad enough in this society now making it with these lunatics running the street. Dressing like a slut puts a spot light on you.

    In high school? Graduate, get a job, pay your bills and taxes and prove you can be a productive adult. Privleges should be earned. Just demanding its your "right" shows the kids need to be focusing on an education, not making a fashion statement. Its childish.
  • Tre debhead 2012/06/26 19:31:25

    I agree with you. My comment wasn't intended for kids to demand their right. Actually I'm for a dress code in schools. But I also understand the other side of it too. My main point was that repercussions follow inappropriate dressing.

    I can agree with that. And I didn't say that attire will get you raped. I said it will probably raise the chances of it happening.

    actually, I would've preferred more categories - - like, 'meh' for instance.

    they wanted to make a statement. they did. what's the big deal?
    or, to put it another way: what's the point of 'freedom of speech' if you don't use it?

    so when our forefathers were attacked at 'the Boston massacre' for protesting the way the Brits were treating them, it had nothing to do with free speech? I imagine they would be surprised to hear you say so.

    and when the ACLU defended the Ku Klux Klan's right to march in any neighborhood they choose under the heading of 'free speech' it wasn't free speech they were defending. I'm sure the courts will be happy to know that. then they can get rid of all sorts of things they'd rather suppress.

    pay attention now - - action = speech under the law. always has, always will. or what's a Constitution for?

    Slurry Wednesday is still ridiculous and not worthy of even comparing to the Brits, or the KKK. Are you serious? These are kids who probably have no clue as to these incidents. Its madness. Do you need a cause that bad?

    Some things are appropriate in some places and some things are appropriate in others, I say that if they want to wear slutty clothes in school, they should have to take their books and study when they go out on dates.

    Girls, if you dress like it, guys will expect you to act like it. You wouldn't tell a guy yes I'll have sex with you when you have no intention of doing so, why would you dress in a lie? I know that your clothes don't give anyone the right to rape you, but they sure do send signals you may not intend.
