School Proposes Ban on Tight Pants Because ‘Bigger Girls’ Were Getting Bullied for Wearing Them
by Katherine Timpf May 20, 2016
The New Hanover County School System in North Carolina has proposed a ban on wearing tight pants in its schools because apparently “bigger girls” are getting bullied for the way that they look when they wear them.
Yes, seriously.
Local news source WECT reports:
“New Hanover County School Board Vice Chair Jeannette Nichols was not available for an on-camera interview, but she said one of the reasons behind the policy change was that some of the ‘bigger girls’ were getting bullied because of their tight jeans.
Sorry, but that’s insane. Are they going to ban tight shirts for the same reason? What about ponytails? After all, some people look better with their hair in ponytails than others, and maybe girls with inferior hairlines are getting bullied when they wear their hair that way. In fact, to be safe, why not just make these kids wear bags over their heads and bodies, just to make sure that no one will get bullied?
