Texas School District Bans Cleavage

ARLINGTON, Texas-With a new school year about to begin, some female students in one Texas school district may have to rethink their wardrobes.

Teen fashions often leave parents a little disgruntled. Arlington Independent School District parent Frances Henson said, “I'm thinking that our daughters are growing up a little bit too fast these days.”

Arlington School Board members agree with parents and this summer, they adopted an unusual amendment to the student dress code.

The new dress code reads, in part, “The display of cleavage is unacceptable. Low cut blouses, tops, sweaters, etc. with plunging necklines are not allowed."

“It's gotten bad enough that, unfortunately, our young males are looking at more than their English book, their speech book, their science book,” says school board president Sherri Wade. “And it's kind of nice to have something left to the imagination.”

Even some teenagers agree there is a problem. “I think it's good that they're doing it,” said student, Tyler Edwards.

Others students say it makes back-to-school shopping more difficult. “I just have to be more careful with what shirts I buy. Change my style a little,” said student, Maria Lopez.

While most parents support the new rule, some worry that enforcing it could be a challenge. “I think that's going to be a little tricky, because it puts a little bit of a policeman approach to the educators, and they really need to focus more on teaching,” said Tom Pederson, AISD parent.

The school board president says they'll do both… and in time, she says, the no cleavage rule will be no problem.

Jesus, doesn't anyone like breasts any more?

As a man with a daughter, I liek these kinds of things. And basically, I am a HUGE hypocrite as a result. i am paranoid because given how "big" my family is (the men are tall, the women tend to be large C and above) and the fact that my wife is DD, her mother is DDD, and that is pretty much the format for her family, i will probably be killing 14 year olds for oggling my daughter in about 13 years.

At the same time, the cleavage girls were my favorite in high school, mostly because we didnt have the internet yet.

Low self esteem plus new big bososm and low cut shirt equaled happy me.

As a man with a job at a high school, I don't like these kinds of things. :p

I couldn't agree more. But, I can see it might be a distracting, especialy to the raging hormones of a teen boy. But cleavage never hurt anyone...

Yeah.. because only teen boys have raging hormones....


maybe thats why my wife calls me a 15 year old....


That makes me the luckiest kid on earth. I have the attitude of a teenager, but i own my own computer, have a woman, As an adult i can make all of my own decisions, and i make over $90,000 a year...

Sweet... :)

Who cares that Im 30?

I was just as horny as the next guy in high school and I made good grades. If they wanna over protect/shelter their kid that's fine, they're concerned parents, it's perfectly understandable. I just don't like how they claim it's because of distraction in the classroom, that's just BS.

Im only saying it because i am freaked out about kids eye-humping my daughter. I know its inevitable unless she turned into some hideous freak, which no one wants for their kid.

Buts eriously, IF it is distracting someone that much, they need help. Now, if the girl has d+ and shows 6 inches of cleavage, that is a bit much. that would be distracting.
Case in point, if my wife wears a tank top, i forget what color her eyes are.

But isn't this more a job for parents and not the schools. Why must everyone BUT the parent look out for the kids well being...

As a parent... Because it's easier. To be honest, as much as i would like someone looking after my kid 24/7, even when she is a teenager, that just isnt possible or right.

the funny thing is, my wife and I would definately either tell her no, or make her justify showing off cleavage, but if we decide she can show off 8 inches and she wants to, well... hey, if she wore a tight sweater, it would still be "Distracting".

the only way around it is to put all the kids in potato sacks covered in shawls. then school would be one big toga party. Which would then, be an all new problem.

This may be getting a little off the track but, it just seems that whenever there is a problem with kids everyone else takes the heat and flak for it. Like video games, TV, movies, music, etc.... it's always someone elses problem.
I just don't like the idea of telling someone what they can and can't wear.
