Turn It Around
Today, we are promoting awareness concerning the school’s sexist dress code policies
by wearing our uniform shirts backwards with the collar up.
Why:
- Body Shaming —Female athletes such as volleyball players are not allowed to wear
their complete uniforms outside of the gym because it is “too revealing.”
- Body Shaming — Several of our fellow female students have been sent to the Dean
because they are showing “too much” cleavage.
- Body Shaming — Female athletes such as runners are now required to wear a fully
covered shirt, while male athletes have practiced shirtless or in tank tops.
Female and male students, we ask that we stand in solidarity with this student organized
expression of inclusivity and to send a clear message that body shaming of students is not okay.
If you do participate, please expect that detentions will be threatened or given-- a small price for
a more comfortable and safe community for all.
Please join me in turning your shirts around to make sure that our voices as students are heard.
Let’s stand together and let’s turn it around! (**Turn your shirt around, without taking it off or
exposing yourself**).
Thank you!
