“A” for Not A distraction.
Girls at Charleston County School of the Arts in North Charleston, South Carolina, protested their school's sexist dress code enforcement by taking a page from literature and wearing scarlet letters.
The students were protesting what they saw as unequal enforcement of the school's dress code. While the code itself is pretty standard stuff, students were angered at how it was being enforced.
Junior Reese Fischer, one of the organizers of the protest, explained to the Charleston Post and Courier why they felt the policy targets girls.
Especially in the summer, you see guys walking around in muscle tank tops with half their sides hanging out and their pants hanging down, and they don't get called out for that. They don't get called out for wearing a hat, but a girl will get called out for a short skirt in a second.
"It would have been one thing if the teacher had said, 'I need you to go down to the office and change clothes,'" Fischer said. "Instead she said, 'You might as well be wearing underwear. I can't believe you walked out the door like that.'"
