A Florida high school student is charging that she was wrongly humiliated by school administrators over going bra-less to class, just because she is a girl, going the full discrimination protest route. And she’s getting a lot of help in her gender-ized victimhood from her mother.
The incident came about when the 17-year-old female Braden River High School student, in Bradenton, Fla., went to school in a loose top without a bra. Her teacher notified school administrators that the revealing outfit was being a distraction in class and administrators told her to put a T-shirt on under her loose shirt. But the female administrator thought the girl’s nipples remained too prominent. The administrator sent the girl to the nurse’s office to put four band-aids on to “X out her nipples.”
This was a moment of understandable humiliation and consternation for the student, but did not result in a self-reflection on personal choices. It quickly turned to self-righteous indignation and, of course, victimhood. She was trained well along the way that her actions did not result in consequences, but that she was the victim of the patriarchy.
“I felt very attacked because of my gender,” the girl told the local newspaper.
Naturally.
It’s not like she was a teen girl in a class with hormone-raging teen boys making a clear display of herself in a way guaranteed to…distract boys in the class. At that age, she probably distracted girls, too, albeit in a different way.
The girl comes by her gender victimhood honestly. A lot of the response seems driven by her mother, who has been all over school officials for their actions, rather than helping her daughter learn how to function in society.
Her mother told the local newspaper that the district’s policy is sexist and administrators need to prove intent when determining if a student’s outfit is vulgar. Intent? So if a student showed up naked to school but with no intent to be vulgar — maybe it’s art or maybe its a protest — then they should not be in violation of dress code?
“We should not treat a girl like this because of where her fat cells decided to distribute genetically,” the mother said. Fat cells have decision-making powers?
There’s not a lot of clear thinking going on here. But don’t think the district is not worried. Because these are the times in which we live.
The school district’s lawyer, Mitch Teitelbaum, said the incident should have been handled better — without saying how exactly — but that the decision to ask the girl to adjust her clothing was correct. “It is undisputed that this matter should have been handled differently at the school level, and corrective measures have been taken to prevent a re-occurrence in the way these matters will be addressed in the future,” Teitelbaum said.
Teitelbaum said the girl was in violation of the dress code in the student code of conduct prohibiting students from “wearing clothes that expose underwear or body parts in an indecent or vulgar manner or attire that disrupts the orderly learning environment.”
There is nothing specific about girls wearing bras. But then, it was probably written at a time when a certain amount of common sense and decency prevailed. Again, not these times.
“You would not ask this kind of stuff of a male,” the girl’s mother protested. “If a male was wearing basketball shorts, and somebody thought they could see his package, you would never ask him to stand up and move around.”
Actually, I seriously doubt that. Quite sure that student would be asked to adjust his clothing. That’s actually indecent exposure, which is against the law. But again, thoughtful common sense is not at the forefront here.
The aggrieved girl is now going full-scale protest by — you guessed — not wearing bras to school anymore. She tweeted out her intent with “Stop sexualizing my body @piratenationhs.” That was after she tweeted “…My school basically told me that boys’ education is far more important than mine and I should be ashamed of my body.” And, importantly, that was after she re-tweeted in March a tweet stating: “i f**king hate this country.”
Sigh.
They were thrown out with the bras.
"Don't touch that dial!"
If she had claimed to be a transgender male, they would have said, “OK”.
Well, in this particular chix age group she’s showing her ptosis ridden breasts to 17yr old boys who spend probably hours a day viewing perfect perky boobies via porn.
She’d be better served wearing a bra and letting them imagine she has perky boobies too.
Even if the wearing a bra prevents sagging is a wives tale if I were her I’d be willing to try the wives tale.
Just going on my personal realm of experience and information. There was one particular classmate of mine in high school who had the perfect perky set of boobies, cup size c. She was also a size 0 or 2. She never ever wore a bra and bragged incessantly that she didn’t need one because her boobs were already perky. We privately hated her. You can imagine. By the time we were in our mid/early 20’s she no longer had those. She didn’t smoke and hadn’t had kids at that time. You can also imagine our smugness when she had to wear strapless bras with spaghetti strap dresses like all the rest of us.
Last time I saw her she weighed not a pound less than 250. I can’t imagine what’s happened in her life and said a prayer for her. I was never a thin perky boobed ‘looker’ so aging hasn’t been traumatic for me. So there’s a upside to being homely after all LOL.
“Reminds me of the ‘70’s. Now, those ere the days.”
Amen, brother.
L
when I graduated from high school, hot pants for girls were acceptable attire, even if some butt cheeks were showing. A few girls went without bras, but is was so common that they weren’t a distraction.
If a boy showed up just wearing a jock, he would be tweeted the same.
Are those the headlights in question?
A Florida high school student Emma Sags is charging that she was wrongly humiliated.............................
Nailed it, Wuli
But maybe she just wants to be comfortable...Everyone isn’t into boob competition.
Wearing that particular shirt she’s looking for attention.
It prints her boobs and her nipples. She’s completely aware of this. It’s why she chose it.
I’m a woman. I know women.
What she probably hasn’t sorted out is that it isn’t just the 18yr old boys looking at her and gawping. It’s the creepy old 65yr old men too.
Then again she might like all the attention regarless of the age of the ‘sender’.
I respectfully disagree. You can not speak for all women anymore than Hillary can. I find your interpretations flawed and frankly catty.
On the other hand you are right about young girls not realizing dirt old men are looking too.
Women are catty. Film at 11.
Any female over the age of 14, max, is intimately aware of every single millimeter of her appearance at all times as it pertains to the perception of males of the species. In particular females over 14 and under 25 or 30 or so. This girl knows exactly what she’s doing. IF she were a well endowed 10 or 11yr old I’d buy the ‘just wanting to be comfortable’ excuse. If the top didn’t print her boobs and nipples I’d be more willing to accept that excuse. She knows she’ll be getting gawped at. It’s why she chose that blouse. If it were the ‘comfort’ excuse that top would have been at least one, probably 2 sizes larger than the one she chose. Or a broadcloth/woven fabric that didn’t print her nipples so prominently. The ‘comfort’ is way exceeded by the ‘attention’ in this particular top. Which for this girl is the entire point of the exercise. Pun intended.
This isn’t the girl next door playboy fakebio. ‘She enjoys feeding the orphans, visiting the nursing home and goes to church 3 times a week!’. Not.
I’m a woman. I was a teen girl at one time. All my friends were teen girls. I know how teen girls operate. It might be instructive to see a pic of this chix mother. It might have been the mom who ‘arranged’ all this to help her rather homely saggy boobed daughter get ‘popular’. I’ve seen that sad thing happen too unfortunately.
” creepy old 65yr old men “
(sigh...)
‘Sigh’?
I’m glad I don’t live in your world, as a woman, mother of 4, physician & entrepreneur, your portrayal of the world is completely foreign to me.
The thief cries thief. The dirt here is in your mind.
