TRIBUNE-REVIEW – April 6, 2006:
Zoe Hinkle thinks her miniskirt is fashionable. Her school’s principal says otherwise.
The fourth-grader plans to hold a rally after school Friday along with some classmates at Streams Elementary School in Upper St. Clair. The girls want to let school administrators know they don’t appreciate being told their dresses are too short.
“I think I needed to say something about it,” Hinkle, 10, said Wednesday. “Freedom of expression should be the style you choose.”
Hinkle claims Streams Principal Claire Miller told her last fall her skirt was too short, and now that warmer weather is returning, Hinkle’s friends are being told the same. The girls were told skirts must fall below the knees, Hinkle said.
Geeze, this is just a skirt. What’s wrong with america and all these stupid rules!? It looks like some folks have not seen pretty slender woman’s legs for century (which is probably true in most of Midwestern parts of US), so they’re ready to jump on a modest looking 10yo girl who just want to make a “fashion statement”. Oh man… I have a theory about the breast cult in US. Breast is worshiped here more than anywhere in the world because nothing else left in women to be crazy about. All these fat cows just killed the cult of sexual body in men’s heads. Breasts, breasts… The rest of the world is still walking high heels, short skirts, tight pants and don’t think it’s something outrageous.
honey i support yu 100%/as for these religious fanatics on here screaming about yu being a whore and your parents being trailer trash they should get a life
isn’t this what girls do? i mean not only little girls but grown women. in my school us girls wear very short pants to p.e. while we are required to wear skirts to our knees elsewhere; it all seems pretty hypocritical to me.
