School's Modesty Club urges girls to show restraint, less skin

[Cleita]

31. Really? Where I went to school the boys had to wear uniforms too.

Sure back in the forties the girls wore skirts, but does it have to be that today? I find your arguments are not substantial.

a) Believe me the baggy, navy blue serge uniforms I wore were nobody's fantasy, but even if they had been cute, what is the difference from a sexy, mini skirt, midriff baring outfit and body piercings? Wouldn't that be a pedophiles fantasy, too? Actually, a pedophile doesn't need a school uniform to fantasize. They are just sick and clothing has nothing to do with it.

b) I knew how to put an outfit together. I resented having to do it to go to school. I suppose nurses' and doctors' scrubs are offensive to you as well, but they are so practical in a work environment. How about a mechanics outfit in an auto shop? I once worked in an auto shop and although it was a clipboard carrying job, I had to wear a shop coat with my name on it. I suppose that gave lecherous men fantasies too.

d)Teachers need to know how to dress appropriately for school. Sadly many don't, however, students should be focused on their studies not their clothes.

Just MHO but it seems more schools around the world agree with me than don't. School is not a runway show.
