When a California teen showed up to school with too much flesh exposed, she was shocked that teachers told her she needed to cover up. The girl didn’t think she should have to hide her lady parts at school, so in retaliation she gave administrators a lesson they won’t forget anytime too soon.
Danielle Ernst is a 17-year-old senior at El Toro High School in Lake Forest, California. She showed up to school wearing an ensemble that she thought was appropriate for class and a girl her age, but her teachers felt differently about what the student referred to as just a V-neck, which was more like the Grand Canyon of exposed teen cleavage.
“They told me I was a distraction,” Ernst told the Orange County Register. “I felt really self-conscious. I didn’t think they had the right to make me feel like that.”

Administrators shouldn’t have been in a position to make her feel that way, she should have felt self-conscious walking out of her house like that. But since she seems to lack all sense of what’s not appropriate attire and lacks parents to teach her such things, someone had to say it. She was warned that if she continued to dress like that, grossly violating the school rules, she would be subject to detention and punishment for dressing inappropriately.

This didn’t sit well with the student, since she felt that she was being punished for being a woman and having breasts, instead of the school reprimanding dirty boys who can’t control their thoughts when looking at her. Ernst hatched a plan, perhaps fueled by liberal parents who perpetuate the belief that she was being objectified and held to a different standard than males.
The inappropriately dressed student organized a petition to change the clothing policy, hoping to allow kids to wear whatever and as little as they want, which suits the feminist ideology that boobs should be out and boys shouldn’t look at them as sex objects. But that’s now how puberty or constructive learning environments work.
“As females, we are told we are not allowed to wear clothing that is too low cut or showing too much skin,” Ernst’s petition states. “Why? Because it is inappropriate and distracting. It is incredibly sexist and offensive to tell someone what they are wearing is inappropriate for school or too distracting. If someone is comfortable and confident in what they wear, what gives you the right to make them feel self conscious?”
As of October 7, when Ernst started her petition to loosen the dress code and morals, she hasn’t struggled to get supporters of her cause. In just nine days, she garnered over 7,500 signatures. There’s no word on how many were from male students in favor of girls showing whatever they want in the name of “feminism,” and girls who secretly want to be gawked at, but one can only assume they made up the majority.
Ernst says she just hopes her petition brings about change she thinks the public school system needs. “The dress code blames women for what they wear,” she said. “It’s not blaming the dirty minds.”
It’s not “dirty minds” and blaming anyone, it’s a matter of respecting yourself and going to school to learn, and not to show off your cleavage to anyone who looks. There are a number of ways to express yourself and be free that don’t require bearing parts that are meant to be covered.
While many dress code articles recently show innocuous offences that even the most conservative people would have to look long and closely at to see how it’s inappropriate, Ernst’s case is not the same. Her intentions with fighting for her “right” to wear any provocative thing she wants, is as visible as her gaping cleavage in that dramatically deep V-neck.
