Outrage After Male Teacher Sends Teen Home Due To 'Distracting' Turtleneck Dress Combo

There has always been a double-standard for girls and boys when it comes to dress-codes. In every student handbook, there are about ten pages reserved for girls: No bra straps showing, no skirts above the pinky finger, no collarbones, no leggings, no backs showing — I could easily go on for several paragraphs.

When you finally get to the boy section: No swear words on shirts, no hats... and that's basically the extent of it.

I was under the impression that school systems were changing and people were finally understanding how unfair it is to put the responsibility on the girls to make sure the boys don't get 'distracted.' But apparently we're still not there yet. And, apparently, it's not just the students who find it distracting. Ew.

    17-year-old Karis, a student from Kamloops, British Columbia was ordered to go home because a teacher was uncomfortable with her clothing, and decided she was a distraction. If you look at her outfit, although her dress is bodycon, she is covered from neck to knee, which definitely is not how anyone dresses to the club. It definitely seems work appropriate though to me. Unfortunately, her teacher found it way too stimulating. Again... EW!

    Karis's supportive father responded to the incident by making a video for Facebook.

    "This is unacceptable. We shouldn't treat our females like this. We shouldn't be telling them they can't dress a certain way. This is absurd."

    He also recognized the unsettling reality that it was of course MALE teachers who deemed her outfit distracting. Maybe you shouldn't be working in a school if you're so easily distracted by minors...

    Font - Connor Watson If you're an adult getting distracted by exposed shins, knees, shoulders, or hands of teenage girls, you have no business being anywhere near teenage girls. It's really sad that female teachers or staff don't stand up for the girls and shame the teachers and staff who have these sexist and sexualized views of teenage girls. 44

    Font - Elizabeth Haught It's literally body shaming. Turtlenecks, while covering up skin, also accentuate breasts. So it's her fault she's developing? Maybe a male teacher who can't control his eyes shouldn't be teaching in high school! 18

    Rectangle - Elena Yu Sounds like the male teacher should've been sent home permanently if he's the one w/uncomfortable and inappropriate urges towards the underaged students in the class.

    Rectangle - Parthena Kydes Some of these teachers should stop blaming girls for their own responses/feelings. It's not a 17 year old girl's job to make sure her teacher doesn't "feel awkward." D 510

    Font - Amy McDougall My, then 17yo daughter, was called out in front of the class for "giving the boys quite the view" She was wearing a tank top under a large sweater. She called me in tears, I immediately called the teacher and told him in no uncertain terms that if EVER did this to my daughter or another female in his class I would call the police. He is no longer teaching. This BS has to stop.

    Font - Top Fan Clair Davis Russell The 'dress' looks a lot like a slip, If I were still teaching, I would have had her call home for something different. I would NEVER have ridiculed her in front of the class nor made her an object. The teacher should have spoken to her privately. 82
