My understanding is that PP was saying those students shouldn’t go into medicine because they are anti-mask, not because of the way they are dressed.


Yes. That comment was about the substance of the protest, not the clothing. Relax kids. It is looking the masks will be able to come off soon. Find a better cause for your time and attention.

I don’t know if I’m high from sleep deprivation but I laughed so hysterically at this thread that I woke up my newborn 😀 So thanks for that.

They actually look okay to me. Well, the one or two wearing flannel pajamas look terrible. But the silhouettes of the joggers look fine. And the clothes are clean, face washed and hair brushed (it appears)

why does everything have to devolve to a race issue. So tired of it.


BIPOC peoples live a life of extreme oppression in the United States.

How can you not see how oppressed you are by systemic white racism? Did you not attend university in this country?


I did. In Miami. Zero racism. Melting pot. Keep cryin your white supremacism bs, weakling. Your genes are inferior.


Too inferior. Can they Darwin themselves faster?

+1. It's the first thing I noticed, too -- even before looking to see whether any of them had masks.

I wish people cared more about their appearance. You don’t need to spend a lot of money looking good and pulled together. Caring about your clothes, makeup, hair and hygiene just makes you more credible to people and inspires confidence and send a message of respect and that you care about the image you put out to the world, and the world in general.

Good hygiene, yes.. trying to look good so your sensibility isn't attacked.. please.

Fads and fashion come and go. Joggers are now in for young people. Who cares.


That’s precisely the attitude I’m talking about. The who cares message is the problem. You fell right into it.

Two of our children attend very selective colleges and their classmates are absolutely NOT dressed like bums. David Brooks teaches part-time at Yale and writes the casually cool and polished kids all look like they're ready for a job interview at any moment.

Maybe they are legacies

When your kids go to private and wear a uniform, you tend to 'clutch the pearls' when you see how other teenagers dress on school days. You can't help it, you see only clean cut kids in uniforms... so the kids dressed like Kardashians on their way to a club or drug dealers or slobs who just rolled out of bed is shocking.

Pretty much. Some people here want it to be 1955.

I'll just leave this here as evidence that high school boys dressed badly 30 years ago, too.

It's from "Long Island’s oldest established private school."

I love their DEI photo! My guess is the student body looks much different.
