“My daughter is not an object to be ogled. This is the worst possible thing that you can tell a teenage girl: you can’t wear shorts because you’re a distraction.”

You, madame, are an idiot.

What a silly woman - her daughter’s butt cheeks are probably half hanging out of the shirts yet she says she is not a subject to be ogled - I imagine mummy is one of those women who wears low cut tops and then complains that men are always looking at her boobs - ya just cannot win with some women.


Or Mom may be one of these activist types who encourage women to go on “slut walks”, and let it all hang out, to demonstrate somehow that women are not to be targets of sexual assault due to what they are wearing.

I suspect you are quite right.

You’re familiar with the Acadian Expulsion?

First it was New France, then Acadia, later New Scotland.

Nova Scotia as a Scottish colony only lasted a few years. French were expelled in the 1740’s or so.

Many of those expelled ended up in Louisiana and became the Cajuns.

Generally agree, but Darling Daughter did experiment with some dramatic hair colors.

The best was jet black with blue streaks framing her face. It really framed her face quite well and made her blue eyes just pop!

I support school uniforms.

A dress code to instill a sense of class is one thing. Uniforms are for fascists.

No, the idea is to make school about learning, and not turning it into a fashion show.

They didn’t have a “Laz would hit it”? Some people never evolved past 9th grade sex ed. A lot of them ended up on FR apparently.

Julia Roberts-Davison of Truro, N.S., has started a petition online after her Grade 8 daughter was told not to wear her cut-off jean shorts to school again.

Julia, from one mom to another, stop being a dingbat. Stop pretending you don't know that short-shorts are worn by young girls for the purpose of "gaining attention." And for gawd's sake, grown the HELL up and stop the social-media gossip crap in the form of your "petition." Julia, you're an embarrasment to parents trying to do the right (not "perfect", not "holy", just right) thing. Julia, for perhaps the first time in your life, be a PARENT.

I went to Catholic school all the way through college, and uniforms and dress codes are the way to go, definitely.

Young people “grow up” ‘way too fast these days. They do not realize the seriousness of engaging in adult behavior too soon.

The schools teach them to engage in such behavior without showing them those pesky consequences.

It is a travesty of education and childhood’s end for teens and tweens.

I'm sure Bubbles at his trailer park in Nova Scotia will get it all straightened out.

Require them all to wear orange jump suits to school.

They might as well get used to them while they're still snotty young punks.

Now, if they only wore Burqas to school, the school board wouldn't have to worry about short shorts.

Yes. We need Sharia law for schoolgirls.

Do I need a /s?
