Since when aren't women allowed to wear suits?

[@thomassandoval8025]

When they decide to attend a private school with a dress code, they are required to follow those rules. She could also un-enroll and attend another school that doesnt have a dress code.

I'm straight and cis and I prefer suits.

[@Onlyway2PeaceisLove89]

Ur a pimple 🤣 cis is short for cyst the fact that confused people are making non confused people call themselves something so gross its hysterical!

[@TingTingalingy]

It's not about what you prefer. You don't see the rules

[@thekraken4886]

These people always think the rules don't apply to them. You're not special.

[@johnfairweather9188]

She knew the rules and decided to break them. That’s her problem, not the school’s.

This is so messed up alot of people still live like the Flintstones..It's 2024

[@kate0913kme]

Funny how people saying she should be able to wear the suit, though the school has rules. When a young man had dreads at a school that he tied up, for being to long. A lot of people were saying follow the rules. Well im saying follow the rules.

[@afterthestorm221]

Maybe next year everybody should wear a suit to this event.

[@Onlyway2PeaceisLove89]

Maybe before enrolling in private school see if it’s a fit for you , the entire school should not have to accommodate you .

[@thejen24]

Where in this were other girls forced to wear suits because she did? NO WHERE.

[@Onlyway2PeaceisLove89]

@@thejen24 the school has a dress code for females is one males is another if they have to change for one person feelings they must for everyone and defeats the structure parents pay to send kids to that school , they can pick a different school if it don’t fit them .

Seems like the school needs to back off and let kids be kids

[@pslangel6169]

Maybe everybody should just follow the rules instead of trying to conforming everybody to the way that you want to live. You can do it outside of school at home.I had to wear a uniform at my private school that I hated, but I had to wear it nonetheless.

[@thejen24]

I highly doubt that a prom dress is equivalent to a school uniform😂

[@michaelaa163]

She literally says she wore the same suit to a different dance hosted by the school, you Orwellian stooge. She’s dressed appropriately and formally. She should have been let in, especially based on her previous experience. She’s not trying to “conform” anyone (it’s a suit, what possibly would there be to conform to), and it’s also a tuition free public charter school. Not a private school.

[@pslangel6169]

[@raimunda2083]

WOMEN LITERALLY WEAR SUITS!

[@TheSaxAppeal]

Hello? Businesswomen, female lawyers, female police detectives...? Women wear suits all the time in the real world. Seems like the school needs to overturn an outdated, archaic policy

[@roseanna1652]

💀 💀 “follow the rules” … it’s 2024, why is a woman not allowed to wear pants? That rule should have been questioned before this lol

[@Aywaa.amy12]

im a girl and im not trans or all that and i wanna wear a suit when im leaving school at 10th grade (in germany we don’t have prom i think and not that graduation 👩🏻‍🎓 things)
cuz i saw a girl wearing a blue suit lol
and i dont like wearing dresses nor i want to be different or get called a pick me.
most dresses are very revealing at the breast area which i dont like at all or have no sleeves :/
and i just think a suit fits me better ;)

i’m glad they didn’t let her in
