Sure they can protest... and the school can say no and remove them from school if they violate dress code.

I realize the poll question is worded slightly different than the question in the OP but the poll question is what I actually wanted answered. Should teens be allowed to go to school braless?

Was it wet tee shirt contest or does the school need to raise the thermostats a bit.

It's underwear. The school has no business telling them what underwear to wear to wear or if they even have to wear underwear. Same goes for boys.

Well, the point is that no one would know what kind of underwear anyone was wearing unless you could tell and if you can tell what they're not wearing then that is going too far.

Let's pretend that you have a 16 year old daughter going to school and she wants to go braless.

No....lets not pretend at all; I did, and, she is 23 now....still free to make her own undergarment choices.

I've seen nipples through bras and shirts. How much do we really need to freak out over the biological fact that females have breasts?

We're talking about high school girls here, not women out of school.
 
Moderate Right said:
Well, that is kind of the point. No one would be able to tell unless they could tell and if they can tell then it shouldn't be allowed. Now, if you want to talk about women out of high school, I don't give a damn how little they want to dress. Bring on the braless revolution!

should boys be required to wear a cup to hide any potential stiffening they might have? Boys have nipples too and might be seen through clothing should they be required to wear a bra to cover that up?

I love ogling women's breasts but I have two teenage girls and they're not going to go to school braless. What they do after they are 18 and out of school is their own business. I suspect that the majority of teen girls wanting to go to school braless want to be ogled so I doubt they would be complaining about teen boys.

Well, my answer to that would be, girls are required to wear bras and boys are required to wear underwear. Never demanded anything more than a bra or a boy's underwear. I'm not saying that these girls should be wearing both a bra and something extra. But, if girls walk around with no bras, boys are going to have their furniture showing more than anything that happens now. A big part of my question was actually asking what in the hell parents think about this. I have teenage girls and they sure damn well aren't going to be going to high school braless.

But you would have been OK with her going to high school, where others could obviously know that she was going braless?

I was and am fine with it.....it seems what "others know" is the problem of others...not my daughters.

Then I would say the boys have a problem....not the girls.

I don't know. Maybe if I was a father I'd feel differently, but this almost seems to me like it's stigmatizing their breasts.

Why? Bras can be very uncomfortable from what I've been told. Not wearing a bra isn't "indecent" any more than a guy not wearing underwear. If a girl chooses to not wear one that's her business - and her parents. If it distracts the boys that is their problem.

And that's reasonable. The point is that the decision was made within your family and not by a school administrator. It never came up in my house and if it did my wife handled it. Mine went to school wearing bras and continue to do so as adults.
 
Cardinal said:
Maybe I'm being naive here, but I always saw the purpose of bras as being just an aesthetic choice meant to keep breasts from getting saggy or from moving around annoyingly. Now, if the absence of a bra was combined with the absence of a shirt as well, that was be a more on-point topic.

gotta hand it to ya. i agree. braless is different than shirtless.

Schools are there for learning, not to be adult book stores. That's why there are dress codes in ALL schools.

ALL schools have dress codes, put in place by some form of administrator.

I guess hoping parents have raised their sons not to be pigs is too much to ask for?

True but public schools do not have unlimited power to regulate dress. They are actually fairly restricted in what they can regulate.

And as a practical matter how is a school going to enforce a “you must wear a bra rule”? It’s not like they can actually check the girl if she says “of course I’m wearing a bra.”
 
Moderate Right said:
Should teens be able to protest their school's dress code and fight for the right to go braless? Or, is this just liberalism running amok? And, where are the parents? What do they think of their teenage daughters going to school braless?

Yes, they can protest it.

My daughter can even protest it all she wants but if she wants to leave the house and have any privileges, she has to put on underclothes first. Even at her young age, I make sure she has on an undershirt or training bra.

Boys are going to be boys. If a woman is showing it off, boys--grown men too--are going to look.

It's perfectly natural for humans to be attracted to the anatomical features of the opposite sex. We're wired that way so we'll procreate. All species are.

Yes, but being attracted to and ogling are different.
