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!
