The Canadian Press speaks to parents and other stakeholders about school dress codes in anticipation of the beginning of the new school year.
“It’s not my child’s issue to make sure that nobody knows she’s wearing a bra. It’s everybody else’s issue to accept what a growing girl’s body looks like, and to not be distracted by it,” says Green, whose children attend a school in Chatham, Ont.
The message such dress-code rules send, she argues, is that as soon as girls start to develop, their bodies must be policed.
