"School Changes The Dress Code..."
"Pearlman ended her letter with a post-script, stating, 'I forgot to thank you for making it clear to my daughter that her body is somehow a distraction, either to herself or to the boys.'
'I thought she might have missed the message earlier in the year when the gym teacher told her she couldn’t wear yoga pants because the boys aren’t able to control themselves. I appreciate how hard you are working to drive the point home.'
Pearlman’s letter shows not only a parent’s frustration but the lengths to which institutions will go to police girls’ bodies.
The fact that the school district changed the dress code is a testament to the power of people in creating grassroots change, a change that was well-warranted."
