So I decided to dress appropriately for the weather. I decided to wear a tank top, but I brought a jacket just in case. In science, I was told by the teacher that I had to have the jacket on despite me not being able to breathe due to the lack of air conditioning. I could’ve had a heat stroke.The dress code for my school was that shoulders should not be shown because “it’s a professional/work environment.” It was a public school. A PUBLIC SCHOOL.NOT EVEN JOKING. THAT’S WHAT THE STAFF TOLD ME. I was treated like I was an adult well before I was treated like the minor I legitimately am. They didn’t care about my health in the slightest.The dress code system is in reality nothing more than a reflection of the victim blaming rape culture. And it is the exact same attitue that would make it possible for the extremist regime to stone girls to death for letting a lock of hair show or going outside unaccompanied under the reign of the Taliban or in the theocracy in Iran today.Religious fundamentalist moral policing is a threath against the freedom and safety of girls and other youths and children everywhere. -- source link
