I'm the first PP, and a mom.

I would love if I didn't have to worry about perverts and creeps, but we don't live in that utopia.

But, why do you think it's appropriate for a 12 yr old to wear super short shorts such that the curve of their butt is visible?  I mean, why not just let her wear her underwear to school.[/quote]

If it were my kid's clothing choices, I would say, "Don't wear those shorts, your rear end will stick to the chair."

If it's not my kid's clothing choices, I don't care. Why do you care about the clothing choices of kids who aren't your kid?[/quote]
[b]because it's a distraction that impacts the school environment.[/b] Why do you think some publics, charters and almost all private schools require uniforms?

Schools have dress codes for a reason.  If you want your 12 yr old to walk around with her boobs and butt showing, I don't care.  But not at school.  And I would question your parenting if I saw her in public like that, and  whether your 12 yr old is sexually active.  Yes, I would judge. shrug.  If you want to be judged by your mind and character, then dress in a way that doesn't focus attention to your body.[/quote]

Person A (and their clothing choices) are not responsible for Person B's behavior. That's basic.

Also basic: decent human beings don't draw inferences about the behavior and value of 12-year-olds based on the 12-year-olds' clothes.[/quote]

NP, as a decent human being, you better believe that I’m drawing inferences on his/her parents for allowing them to dress like that. [/quote]
+1  If ^^PP thinks we shouldn't care how a girl dresses in school, then ^PP shouldn't care if we are judging the girl and the parent.  [/quote]
