I got sent home from high school because my shorts weren’t 2 inches past my fingertips!

Sadly it needed to be said that your “buttocks and genitals” should be covered, and that undergarments are not clothes. Also an outfit consists of both a top and a bottom. Most of these are directed to the girls, hence the sexist backlash. But when I take my kids to school and see some girls wearing shorts that look like thongs, I see where they are coming from.

It’s body shaming and sexist to ask that parents not let their daughter go to school with her asscheeks out, apparently.


Parents responding on that are the usual crazytown suspects.

I’m as liberal as they come but I’m secretly a MAGA fascist because I want my kids to recognize that you should dress for the occasion and that means no asscheeks at school.



Those parents are nuts. No one on earth believes that skin tight, super short denim shorts that result in butt cheeks on full display are worn for comfort. Half of them look like they’re cutting off circulation. The complete lack of coverage results in turning classroom seats into toilet seats FFS.

But, yes, it’s imperative that girls be allowed to come to school in the equivalent of a bikini or they are oppressed.

And if a boy wears something similarly cut, I have a problem with that, too.

I went to an all girls school in another area. The dress code was no jeans or sweatpants and no tshirts with pictures or sayings. It was the 1990s but it was great. We wore pants, shirts, skirts, sweaters. It was understood no ass cheeks or boobs out.

And nobody wants to talk about why that is. Why do the girls need to dress like that? Or what is being marketed to them specifically?

I’m so relieved that other parents had the same reaction that I did! I was getting really worried about the state of parenting in America!


Are there any all girls schools without uniforms? What do they wear? What do girls wear at privates like GDS?

What happened to everyone just wearing pajamas to school, like loose, fitting, comfortable bottoms, and a baggy tshirt?

And to be fair, APS dress code does actually say "APS defines “inappropriate” as clothing that does not cover the buttocks or genitals, underwear worn without any clothes covering (visible waistbands or straps on undergarments worn under other clothing are acceptable), swimwear as standalone apparel (outside of pool areas), and clothing with language or images that are vulgar, discriminatory, derogatory, or obscene."

What’s the most crazy is the mom posters who are in an upheaval and screaming body shaming! are in the fact the same moms who would not let their child dress that way for school or otherwise and would very easily point out so poorly dressed girls to their own daughters using derogatory remarks. I have no doubt that some of those moms would actually say it’s cultural so it’s ok for them to do it.

I have a 15-year-old girl and I can vouch that manufacturers do in fact make shorts that cover teenage ass cheeks. You just have to make your kid buy/wear them.

I didn't win the crop top battle today, though. To be fair, I didn't really try.

Was there some email sent out to parents about a dress code? Did it just go to one school?
