Lauren Wiggins, Moncton teen, takes stand against 'unjust' school dress code
Thought this might make for "fun" discussion.
Quote:
A Moncton, N.B., teenager is taking a stand against "unjust standards" after she received a detention for breaking the dress code at Harrison Trimble High School, and then a one-day suspension for complaining to the vice-principal.
Lauren Wiggins, 17, says she was told the full-length halter dress she wore to school on Monday was considered "inappropriate" and a "sexual distraction" to fellow male students.
But the Grade 12 student contends the dress code is a symptom of "rape culture" — a climate that blames women for the sexist behaviours of others.
