“The staff reminds us to love ourselves every day, but if you want us to love ourselves so desperately, then why tell us to cover ourselves when you see us?” one student said.
Middle school students in Oregon are speaking out about their school district’s “discriminatory” dress code policy, saying it “induces rape culture” and demanding change.
“The staff reminds us to love ourselves every day, but if you want us to love ourselves so desperately, then why tell us to cover ourselves when you see us?” she said. “I think it’s fine that there’s a dress code, but it’s kind of discriminating because I’ve never seen a boy get dressed coded,” said Claire in a video posted by the Salem Statesman Journal. “It’s just been like the ladies at the schools. I’d say it’s body shaming for sure because you get pulled out in the hallway, they tell you you’re being distracting, or the boys are looking at you, or something like that.
Aimee added that she believes the dress “induces rape culture because it tells guys ‘If she’s wearing short shorts, then she’s asking for it,’ which is totally not right.” In the board meeting, the students pushed for a more “progressive dress code” and made suggestions about what should be allowed, which included hats, midriff-baring shirts within reason, athletic wear and ripped jeans.
