A 9-year-old wearing a tank top on a hot day is not being seductive or disrespectful, she says.

Many girls wore yoga pants or leggings in defiance of the ban. “Not being able to wear leggings because it’s ‘too distracting for boys’ is giving us the impression we should be guilty for what guys do,” said Sophie Hasty, a 7th grader at the school, “We just want to be comfortable!” teagan_pleasant https://padlet.com/teagan_pleasant/1aitddkoviw4/wish/197326568 “What's Fair and Unfair About Student Dress Codes?” Anti-Defamation League, goo.gl/A2GfCJ.]]> 2017-10-16 13:21:03 UTC https://padlet.com/teagan_pleasant/1aitddkoviw4/wish/197326568 After receiving a phone call from the school about Stephanie’s dress code violation, Dunn brought her daughter a scarf to wear.
