Purely for scientific reasons, I'd like to test the men on FR. Are you really saying we can't read this discussion without our minds wandering like we're on drugs, just because we encounter one picture with a little bounce in it?

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....

I thought Mr Ed’s wife had died long ago...
Fascinating mug shot...
Her headlights are definitely on.
>Some adolescents between the ages of 13-25 are simply not educable in a traditional classroom setting. Their hormones are raging and they are definitely not scholarly. It would be wise to reconstruct educational structures and policies to reflect this biological reality.<
That’s absolutely true. This is why adolescents in high school and college are generally not scholarly.
Putting the two sexes together, and squeezing them into their space where they can see, smell, and hear the other sex, while hormones roar like Niagra Falls isn’t a good idea.
Back when co-education was new and edgy the so-called Puritans warned us this would happen. No one listened, let alone took heed.
I firmly believe, first of all in homeschooling. My next preference is single sex schools, because boys and girls are different, but while the hormones moan they want to find out all they can about those differences.
Yes, we must change our classroom settings. And change our popular culture. None of this will happen until we get out of the American hormonal culture itself. All of this is wrapped up into a whirling cultural dynamic that few really want to change.
And braless girls sanuntering the halls in coed schools are no hopeful sign that change is on the way.
Perhaps, we should have men in school, or the office, or anywhere professional, follow womens lead and start wearing clothes that cover the barest amount of skin as possible. Actually, boys should start wearing nothing but a thong bikini and a tank top to school.
LOLng
As a woman, I say the teen’s selfie is a fraud. She IS wearing a bra in that photo. I’m sure of it. She put on a bra and then took the photo to induce sympathy for herself and outrage at the school.
Common men, all she needs is a slight chill in the air from the air conditioning and there will be plenty for the boys to stare at.

What??
“High schooler gets told to put on a bra ‘so guys don’t stare’”
maybe they should have just blinded all of the hetero guys ... “problem” solved ...
Probably had her party lights on and that’s why administration intervened.
You’ll poke your eye out.
It does hide the nipples, though. Methinks that was the problem.
Texas huh???
I had heard a while back that a Texas man had invented a bra that one size would fit all, there would be no ‘bounce’ and any and all protuberances would be masked.
He dropped the idea one night after 10 guys jumped him and kicked the crap out of him AND told him why they were doing it.
Oh man. No wonder they were looking at “her”(?) boobs.
Great pic!
I have a better idea. Stop talking about it.
Teenage girls have been going to school braless since time immemorial. Only recently has it become an issue. And every time, it is the administrators who wind up looking like idiots.
Charge her with sexual harassment? Seriously?
“She wants to be respected, but she walks around without a bra?”
She mentioned respect, though I don’t think she specifically said she wanted to be respected. Maybe she enjoys drawing the attention.
