What to (not) wear
(Putting on my sarcasm hat)
Congratulations to the people who promote women’s liberation in clothing. Wear what you want! Express yourself! If you’ve got it, flaunt it! Every 12-13 year old in the middle school wears leggings like thick tights, and most of them only wear waist-length shirts. With the lighter colors, one can see the pattern on the underwear beneath.
I can’t get past thinking I’m in a girls’ locker room or my daughter’s bedroom helping her to put on and button her Sunday dress.
At least it solves the problem presented when a student has long hair and I’m not sure if it’s a boy or a girl (yes, even at age 12) – the boys don’t wear leggings.
Does no one see this as distracting for the middle school boys or the teachers? Do no parents see this as immodest? Or do we go back to the “it’s entirely the guy’s problem” side of the debate. Yes, it’s his problem. But leggings without a long shirt/dress over them are immodest.
