There's no denying that there's a problem with school dress codes.
They often don't make sense and are enforced randomly. And with the power of social media, people are speaking up about how ridiculous it is to be called out for what seem to be very tame fashion choices.
Remy Altuna is the latest student to come forward when she was called out by a teacher for what she was wearing.
Remy is a student at Beaumont High School in southern California.

"It would be one thing if they were dress-coding boys and girls equally, but she notes that girls have been the biggest targets, while the boys’ violations, such as ripped jeans, are overlooked."

Unfortunately, some men have replied to Remy's tweet to explain to her that guys just can't help but stare at braless women, and they won't be able to focus in class.

News flash: women make their own decisions and aren't responsible for how men act! Women shouldn't dress to accommodate that. Men should be taught to be respectful and to control their own gaze!
But Remy's friends and others online have come out to support her. Many people said that the school dress code shouldn't police undergarments.
