In reply to the discussion: Girl Accuses School Of ‘Shaming Girls For Their Bodies' After Being Sent Home For Wearing Shorts [View all]iamthebandfanman
(8,127 posts)for the record tho, my lil county school in Kentucky was pretty even handed about this sorta stuff..
males coming out of the locker room even for PE without a shirt on would have been unacceptable.. in fact I remember guys being told to go put a shirt on when it was attempted (a few guys tried to when it was time to do our mandated distance run outside)...
for all its faults, they definitely didn't pick sides in clothing battles.. you either matched the dress code or too bad for you (regardless of your gender).. lol
I remember once I had worn a shirt to school with the band name "Mustard Plug" (I was into ska, what can I say) and was told it was '
'inappropriate' because, and I swear to you I quote, 'I think we all know what plug means'... to which I glared back.. 'whats it mean?' lol...
apparently they were taking it in a sexual context...
after some good ole internetin' with the vice principle to prove it was just a band, I was told itd be alright but theyd prefer if I didn't wear it again ... lol. thank god it happened in the late 90s and not the early 90s
