A teenager recently faced some backlash for how she was dressed. This time she had the support of almost all her peers to show that maybe the focus shouldn't be on how people are dressed but on their education and chance for self-expression.
Eighteen-year-old Kaitlyn Juvik was sitting in class like she would any regular school day.
She was wearing nipple stickers, but typically doesn’t wear a bra ever.
In fact, she hasn’t worn a bra in about a year.
This is the shirt Kaitlyn was wearing when she was sent to the office.
"When I left the office, I was so upset that I posted a picture of what I was wearing on Facebook, telling everyone:
Principal Steve Thennis said he won’t check someone’s undergarments but does ask they dress appropriately...
Kaitlyn isn't the only one who was outraged at the request to cover up.
One of her friends, Brooke Lanier, created a Facebook page called “No Bra, No Problem” in support.
In addition, 300 females from the high school went braless.
Even some of the male students wore bras in protest.
"When I heard they were trying to impose on Kaitlyn's self expression, it really irritated me," said Samuel.
In fact, Kaitlyn wasn't even going against the school handbook...
