I'm with the middle school teacher.   This is what she's talking about, and it's not OK for [i]12 year old minors t[/i]o look like this, and those odd "anti-shaming" feminist PPs who think this is [i]ok for minor children [/i]are really stupid and not using their Oberlin/Kenyon/Bates/Smith thinking caps.

Who are we (or the school staff) to decide what it's appropriate for other people's kids to wear? As long as it's not unsafe (open toe shoes in a science lab, flip flops in PE), mind your own business. Schools take their position of authority too far. Who asked them what our kids should wear?

It's precisely because they're kids, and not adults, that faculty in a public school do get to decide the rules on attire, speech, due process and other areas that adults are subject to.    Sometimes, the public school staff "decide" that it's "appropriate" that 100% of the kids wear a uniform.  Brent, Hardy, and 100 other DC schools.    Sometimes, the staff "decides" that "other people's kids" cannot wear a T-shirt with the words "Fuck You Everybody" on the front.  Or a picture of a giant penis.     Sometimes, school staff get to "decide" that "other people's kids" cannot wear a thong swimsuit and nothing more to class.

All of these things are easily upheld under current case law.  Minors don't have the same freedoms as adults, that's not up for debate, it's settled law. [/quote]
