[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I sometimes have to remind myself that many of you come from cultures where your parents had arranged marriages, that even you were probably virgins when you married. I'm not making value judgments about those choices--I just hope they WERE choices--but it must color how you view your bodies and your daughters' bodies and what you teach your sons. It is probably not a coincidence that some of those countries also have disturbingly high percentages of rape and teen marriage. But again, no judgment. My grandma was a teen bride as well, although I'm not sure it was her shorts that led her to ruin, morelike the War. And the South. [/quote]

What on earth are you talking about? What does a culture of arranged marriages have to do with middle school culture? This isn’t a foreign culture vs domestic culture issue. This makes you sound very racist. Dressing appropriately is in every culture. That’s why we don’t have people wearing bikinis to work. There is a time and place for certain outfits.  School is an academic institution and should be treated as such. Middle schoolers are children and need to be taught how to dress appropriately.[/quote]
