High schooler gets told to put on a bra 'so guys don’t stare'
Yahoo! News ^ | May 18, 2018 | Kerry Justich

Brittney Coelho arrived at her Harker, Tex. high school one morning, dressed in an outfit deemed appropriate by her school’s dress code. But during the day, an assistant principal pulled her aside to point out an issue with her wardrobe — the fact that Coelho wasn’t wearing a bra.

“It is not a requirement in the dress code at my school for me to wear a bra,” the student tweeted. “Stop blaming girls’s outfits for boys not being raised right to respect women.”

She then posted a photo of herself in the shirt she wore to school, without a bra, alongside a screen shot of Harker Heights High School’s dress code. The high-necked top seemed to cover up everything that the guidelines restricted, leading the student to conclude that the bra request was rather sexist.

The 17-year-old recalled the conversation with the administrator, a female assistant principal, for Yahoo Lifestyle, saying that she had asked Coelho if she was wearing a bra under her shirt, to which she responded “no.” The conversation took an even more uncomfortable turn when the administrator began to allegedly explain why that wasn’t appropriate — from pointing out that it would become more noticeable to others if Coelho was cold to telling her that she should cover up “so guys don’t stare.”

The administrator did not immediately respond to Yahoo Lifestyle’s request for comment....

You can respect women, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t going to be distracted by breasts. You can’t “respect” away biology.

This woman’s parents definitely done a poor job raising a proper lady if she doesn’t understand the reality of the world.

“From the pic at the site, I don’t even see anything worth staring at.”

Maybe if they turned on the air conditioning....

I bet when she walks down the hall her breasts are bouncing around in constant motion!

Her dad agreed with the principal!

I bet the school was honestly looking out for her safety in a respectful way. We should all have someone pull us aside and offer advice - not everything is a conspiracy/setup/SJW movement.

“Wait a minute. She wants to be respected, but she walks around without a bra?”

Don’t try logic. It doesn’t work on this planet anymore.

In Prog World, gays must be gay because of biology (mental). Trannies must be trannies because of biology (mental). But, if a boy is a boy because of biology (mental and physical), he needs to change.

No, but a bra does make nips invisible, which is the idea, uplift or no.

Did I offend Japanese with that statement?

Fine, but only in motion will the full distraction a teen guy suffers be revealed. And no, at 72 I don’t need the action part.

Myself, I think it is foolish for boys and girls to be going to the same schools.

My high school was all boys for my first three years and girls were admitted for my senior year. I finished in the top ten percent of my class in each of my first three years. I barely cracked the top half in my senior year. It wasn't because the girls were smarter than I was. They were simply a distraction that I did not find conducive to a pursuit of academic excellence. :-)

Yep. Bras never stopped me from looking when I was that age. This age either :)

Would anyone argue that teenage boys are not easily distracted? Would anyone argue that the primary mission of school is to provide education? Remove the distractions and complete the mission. Also, legalize the ability of femi-nazis and other pukes to skip high school and resign themselves to lives of manual labor to earn their keep.

Did I overlook the picture? Can’t decide without the picture if she needs a bra or not. Obviously she should wear one - and want to wear one/ if she is endowed in that department. Where are her parents, for goodness sakes? Does she have any?

She needs Clearasil a heck of a lot more than a bra!
