The school year has begun, which means girls across the country are getting in trouble for arbitrary dress code violations

In one Georgia middle school, a group of 50 to 60 students is protesting their administration’s policy by wearing matching outfits every Friday: t-shirts that call the dress code “sexist,” “racist,” and “classist.”

The demonstration was sparked by an incident that occurred on the very first day of classes at Simpson Middle School, the. Sophia Trevino, 13, believed she’d picked out the perfect outfit for the first day of school only to be swiftly disciplined once she arrived. According to the outlet, a teacher in charge of enforcing the dress code lined up students as soon as they entered the school—including Sophia, who was wearing black distressed jeans.

Needless to say, most dress codes in the United States are not designed with this reality in mind. Rather, they’re deployed as mechanisms for turning young girls’ bodies into sites of shame and stigma. Though schools might describe their dress codes as establishing a standard for “appropriate dress for the learning environment”—as Simpson Middle School does—girls can easily see through to the core of what they represent.
