Teen exposes how ‘sexy’ school dress code can be

A high school student in Illinois decides to challenge his school’s dress code. She proved her sexism by wearing almost identical outfits to her classmates to see how long it took them to write. Jarding and his two girlfriends wore crop tops to disallowed school and the two girls ended up getting written before the end of the day. Jarding also pointed out that she had actually broken two dress code rules that day and was never seen twice. For years, people have been battling the oppression behind the school dress code. Professor Meredith Neville-Shepard said in a paper she published in 2019, . that “defenders of the dress code describe female immodesty as a cause of some potential harm,” . “including negative social judgments, sexual harassment and harassment of male students in class”. The fact that Jarding, a current senior, had no idea that there was a dress code he was breaking shows how sexist this rule was. Since starting the series, other students have started challenging their dress code and uploading the footage to TikTok, which is actually exactly what Jarding had hoped for.
