Students at New York City’s Stuyvesant High are unhappy with a dress code that bans girls from wearing Daisy Dukes and tank tops to school along with other such inappropriate clothing.
To protest the restriction on their supposed right to wear as little as possible to school, the girls held a so-called “Slutty Wednesday” demonstration this week. They complained that Stuyvesant’s dress code is unfair, particularly to well-endowed girls.
Lucy Greider, a Stuyvesant freshman, told the New York Post she’s been sent to the principal’s office 10 times this school year for showing off too much cleavage, midriff or shoulder.
“Sometimes the teachers will call you out in the hallway,” she whined, adding “I like what I wear. I want to have my own style in school.”
Meanwhile, boy students, protesting in solidarity with underdressed female classmates like Greider, complained that school administrators assume they cannot control their raging hormones when they’re in the company of teen-aged babes wearing next to nothing.
But it’s not like Stuyvesant is telling Greider and other female students that they have dress like Amish girls.
Its dress code, put in place last year, states that shoulders, underwear, midriffs, and lower backs are not to be exposed. Shorts, dresses and skirts must extend below a student’s finger tips with their arms straight at their sides.
In practical terms, that means Stuyvesant girls can’t wear tank tops, halter tops or sports tops (the kind often seen in workout videos). Nor can they wear short shorts, micro-miniskirts or itty bitty dresses.
It also means that Stuyvesant boys can’t wear wife beaters and “sags” to class.
The girls have to make do with clothes that don’t make them look like teen-age street walkers. The boys have to do without gear that makes them look like they just got out of the joint.
If the upper-middle-class Stuyvesant girls just have to get their hoochie on, if the white-bread Stuyvesant boys feel they need to represent that they’re living the thug life, they all can do so after school each day, on weekends, on spring break and on summer vacay.
The pity is that the parents of the students who staged the New York City high school’s “Slutty Wednesday” protest gave it their tacit approval.
They are obviously unmindful of the Scripture that advises parents to train up a child in the way he (or she) should go. Otherwise their teens wouldn’t go to school each day wearing whatever – or not wearing whatever – their precious little hearts desire.
So, then, since so many of the Stuyvesant kids are apparently getting no adult guidance at home as to appropriate school attire, the responsibility has fallen to the New York City high school’s principal and teachers.
Those beleaguered educators are not the bad guys in the highly-publicized dispute over Stuyvesant’s student dress code. It’s the Stuyvesant parents who don’t care how slutty their kids look when they leave the house.
Meanwhile, boy students, protesting in solidarity with underdressed female classmates like Greider, complained that school administrators assume they cannot control their raging hormones when they’re in the company of teen-aged babes wearing next to nothing.

“I got you a pic that’s at the article.”
STOLEN article, actually.
Very “Christian” of the diarist.

We had a foster daughter that snuck a pair of daisy dukes to school in her backpack. When we got the call about her attire my wife took a pair of my baggy sweats and red suspenders and had her change in the nurses office. The shorts were disposed of appropriately and she had to buy a new pair of jeans to replace the other ones she had thrown out.
Responsible parents make the difference
If I loose 10 pounds I will join Slutty Wednesday in the workplace.
Explain a lot about what’s wrong with our societies and industries. These immoral kids may well be effective at getting themselves careers, but such lack of values will have a bad effect on their workplaces.
Emmanuel? I don’t think so. You’re thinking of Axelrod class of 72. My class.
Me too, sweetie!
So i refresh the page and BOOM. that pic. Just in time for co workers to walk by and ask me what sort of perversion was i reading.
And confirm your coworkers suspicions.
Oh, never mind, I thought you meant the slutty underage chick pic.
Aside from the exposed midriff on the right, I think it is O.K. for a high school girl.
I graduated from HS in 1971, when hot pants and mini-skirts were popular for girls.
Secretary at work got called to school once because her daughter was “dressed like a whore.” Kid went a friend’s house and changed before going to school.
What? No belly-button rings or tramp-stamps visible?
EWWWW looks like Biden.
It’s always been that way with many of the most creative and intelligent among us. Drug/alcohol use, promiscuity, mistresses, dangerous activities, etc.
It is said that “ignorance is bliss”. I think too much intelligence is almost a curse. Intoxication, dangerous sports and sex are a way to momentarily stop the mind from constantly seeing our harsh reality and momentarily feel that “bliss”.
Here’s just a few world-famous figures from the top of my head. Remember that most people like that can easily keep it secret. There are many that we will never know about.
Alexander the Great
Ben Franklin
Ulysses Grant
Ernest Hemingway
Howard Hughes
Albert Einstein
Steve Jobs

I remember going to school in the 60’s and seeing the Catholic school girls all formal like in bobby sox, plaid skirt, white shirt and matching plaid tie.
In the 80’s I remember going to clubs and seeing hot girls dressed in bobby sox, plaid skirts, white shirts and no tie, but shirt open 3 buttons.
Which just goes to show, it isn’t the clothes that make the slut. It’s the slut that makes the clothes.
Those high school girls do not look slutty at all. They look like kids. Now in my day, I knew some girls who could take what they are wearing and make 3k a night in Atlantic City.
I went to high school in the late 1970s. Girls wore short skirts and hot pants to school. Never a complaint by me.
There isn’t 2 cents worth of difference between the dress of the 2 girls in the photo posted and the girls wearing hot pants on my HS campus.
In our county, the principals and teachers are not doing their part to support the parents and the entire voting community’s standards.
In my town, ( in one of the reddest counties in the nation) the mothers and fathers complain that their children leave the home modestly and appropriately dressed but then change their clothes once they are in school.
Unfortunately, the government school principals do** NOT** enforce the dress code that was approved by the school board. I guess it is above their pay grade.
