Students at Stuyvesant High School in New York are protesting the dress code, enacted last fall, in order to better express themselves. The result has led to one form of protest known as "Slutty Wednesday," which is growing among the 3,300 students.
As it stands, students found in violation of the school's dress code are forced to wear oversize gray T-shirts. The rules state that shorts, dresses, and skirts should reach the end of the fingertips when extended straight down; no clothing that exposes "shoulders, undergarments, midriffs, or lower backs" is allowed, and any clothing with words or art must "be in good taste."

How does your clothing define you as a parent?'Clothes makes the man', right? How does your wardrobe show that you are a parent? Is there a certain style you lean towards now that your a parent? Or, do your clothes say something different altogether?

Shouldn’t they be in school learning about this issue rather than protesting in the streets? If they did, perhaps they will learn that climate change science is very complex and the solutions are illusive at best. The teachers have not done a good job framing this issue. Instead, they are brain...
