In short, my issue is not the girl violating the dress code - right/wrong, the dress code for the school is established. The issue I have is the underlying reasoning for some of the actual codes.
I have no issue with a dress code at all. The issue I have
is the fact that the wrong issue is being discussed as a result. Violate the
dress code, fine. But to single out girls for their attire and hold them
responsible for boys thoughts and actions is wrong. Do I think some of these
girls nowadays are wearing outfits "above" their age? Without a
doubt, yes! Do I think their doing so should hold them responsible for immature
boys/men? No.
How is it different from a drunk blaming the bottle of Jack Daniels or those
shots for his/her own
behavior? In my opinion, it isn't.
Where are the parents telling these kids
"just because you can see the cleft of her butt cheek doesn't give you the
right to stalk/abuse/rape/fondle/etc her."
So yes, if she, or any kid, violates the
established dress code, that's one thing and I support it. It's the underlying
reason for some of the dress code clauses I take issue with.
When will we, as a society, start holding individuals responsible for their own actions - and consequences - instead of looking for something else to hold responsible for our own words and deeds?
What separates man from animal is "free will" - which means we are responsible for our own words, thoughts, and actions, maybe it's time more people started acting like it.
