A video of the protest posted on TikTok has gone viral, stirring up national attention.<\/p>\n<p>On June 3, the leader of the protesters, who is 16, and some of her female classmates at Natomas Charter School\u2019s Performing and Fine Arts Academy in Sacramento, California, demonstrated their contempt for the school\u2019s rules.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMidway through the principal\u2019s dress-code address, students stormed out of the assembly room and took to the school\u2019s courtyard wearing crop tops, bralettes and baby tees, per video of the demonstration. Protesters painted messages across their stomachs that read: \u2018Distraction,\u2019 \u2018It\u2019s not my fault\u2019 and \u2018Am I distracting?\u2019 \u2014 challenging the notion that their bare bellies disrupt classroom workflow,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/high-school-student-sparks-debate-after-protesting-schools-sexist-dress-code-1599157\">Newsweek<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<p>The protest leader claimed, \u201c[The school principal] was going to have an assembly on dress code so in response we wore crop tops to protest. It was a day-long process, we showed up in crop tops and they started dress coding people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She also stated, \u201cThe dress code is sexist towards women and perpetuates rape culture. It makes us very uncomfortable. \u2026 We as students feel like what we wear is not distracting towards others or affecting anyone\u2019s learning environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But Natomas Charter School\u2019s Executive Director Joe Wood gave a different version of what was going on, asserting to Newsweek, \u201cThere\u2019s definitely been a lot of misinformation out there. There was no assembly scheduled for that day. Since students came back to campus, our focus has been on their emotional wellbeing. However, we noticed that some students began coming to class in slippers, crop tops and sports bras, so our plan was to have a 2-5 minute conversation with the school over Zoom, as we cannot have in-person assemblies due to COVID regulations. That conversation was basically telling students, \u2018Don\u2019t forget the dress code that\u2019s been here for three years, and as you shop for the summer, purchase things in alignment with the dress code.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wood added, \u201cSince [the protest], we\u2019ve been meeting with students to get a sense of what actually happened. We had a town hall\u2026to hear their concerns about the dress code and meeting with individual students.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The school\u2019s handbook states simply, \u201cClothing must cover areas from one armpit across to the other armpit, down to approximately three to four inches inseam length on the upper thighs \u2026 [and] tops must have shoulder straps.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wood concluded, \u201cPart of this is, I think, being cooped up because of the pandemic. It seemed like they were more protesting other schools\u2019 dress codes, not ours, and the largely sexual and racial [tone] they can have. Our dress code\u2019s primary concern is that they come to school with appropriate clothing on their body. The kids are more frustrated about wanting to be able to wear crop tops or sports bras.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMostly girls are wearing crop tops and showing midriff, and the guys can\u00a0wear tank tops and be shirtless at PE and they won\u2019t say nothing about it,\u201d one of the protesters said, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insideedition.com\/california-teens-wearing-crop-tops-walk-out-of-high-school-in-protest-of-dress-code-67570\">Inside Edition<\/a> reported. Inside Edition added, \u201cDr. Addie Ellis, Natomas Charter School\u2019s student services director, said the school doesn\u2019t call out students who have on a top that doesn\u2019t touch their pants.\u00a0\u2018If it\u2019s a sports bra? Yeah, we\u2019re going to call it out, because that wouldn\u2019t be appropriate for a work setting,\u2019 Ellis said.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
