I wonder what it would take, and how long, for people to realize that styles come and go, and young people will experiment with creation of "something different" styles. I am amazed how any person of age to have been young in the 60's-70's can get all uptight over clothing/hair styles. Don't they remember the "adults" of the time raving about how the world will end unless all these filthy hippies cut their hair. They don't remember Nehru suits, huge bellbottoms, disco-wear, or burned bras? And if they're older, they don't remember zoot suits and flapper-wear? And did the world end because of long hair styles? Don't think so.
I remember those days, but the "clothing/hair styles" in the 60's-70's weren't body revealing, and school-age girls didn't go bra-less.
I remember when boys were sent home for sporting a Mohawk haircut or for not shaving.
What amazes me though, is that how any person of age thinks it's OK for a teenage girl to wear low-cut blouses and other types of body revealing clothing to school, and think it's OK for the parent(s) to encourage outright insolence and combative attitudes. More and more stories are coming out about students attacking teachers --- because there is no discipline, respect, or personal values taught at home
One argument I read, was the writer, like you, couldn't understand what a student wore to school would have any bearing on the education process. Well plenty. If a boy is distracted by a girl's display of body parts, or spray-on tights; or a girl is struck with awe at some boy's ass crack; how are they to stay focused on their studies? Go to the damn mall!
I stand with the school.
