Catholic School Bans Girls’ Skirts Because “Male Faculty Feel Uncomfortable”
- Thread starter Skwim

Yes they are afraid to confront the girls about their attire. Because it could be seen as sexual harassment nowadays. You are misrepresenting it as they are uncomfortable because they are aroused. This is a misrepresentation. If you didn't quote mine you'd realize this.
See eve the female faculty have expressed frustration with the ongoing challenge of dress code. This indicates the girls have been abusing the dress code (shock). They are trying to get away with breaking the dress code, got busted, and now mad because they lost the privilege to wear skirts. Its a private institution they have the right to enforce whatever dress code they see fit.

Catholic high school girls look for trouble.
A time-honored reputation and tradition needs to be upheld you know.
But, that isn't what you posted on the Internet.
I am very judgemental. And I notice what people post on RF.
You answered "Yes" to "Are you unable to see the difference between a modest skirt and a package for the goods".
Having read a gazillion of your posts, I'm pretty sure that what you posted was true.

This is called projection. Projecting an unfounded conclusion on a situation.
SO----
Show your evidence that this is what they are afraid of
Show that it could be seen as sexual harassment nowadays
Show that it could be seen as sexual harassment nowadays
First of all, I didn't use the word "uncomfortable." Go back and reread.
Secondly, just how did you get "they are aroused" out of "their inability"? Never mind. I have a pretty good idea.
.
I already said, "My bad." What do you need, a written confession that I was wrong?
.
How about a reason for me to believe that young, scantily clad, women aren't such a big deal to you?
It appears that they are.
And you weren't just wrong once. You then went on to misquote me, as if that were the reason you posted what you did.
Tom
Nope perhaps you are the one projecting?
I'd imagine you do have a good idea since your first thought was accusing the Male faculty of being pedos. Which has absolutely nothing to do with the issue.
There was nothing sexual about the article. You turned it into that.
You are the one projecting.

Ahh, Catholic High School Girls in trouble,
truly a cinematic masterpiece for the ages.
I see that you’re a man of sophistication and taste.
You can have Japanese school girl antics, just no more ecchi or lewding them. And definitely no fanservice in high school anime.

Words fail me,"Cathedral Catholic High School in San Diego has a new dress code rule for next year: Girls are banned from wearing skirts because they’re distracting too many men.
Mind you, the new rule is not to ban short skirts — most public schools have similar rules — but to ban skirts altogether. Girls will now only be allowed to wear long pants or (what are they thinking?) Bermuda shorts.
After issuing “thousands of hours of detention” to students modifying the length of uniform skirts, Principal Kevin Calkins sent news of the ban to students in an email on Friday, local media reported. In the email, Calkins wrote that the dress code exists to foster a faith-based environment where students are focused on learning and not outward appearances.
“Male faculty feel uncomfortable addressing female students about the length of their skirts, even female faculty have expressed frustration with the ongoing challenge of dress code,” Calkins wrote in the email.
Several girls at the school protested the decision yesterday morning with signs saying things like “I’m sorry… Did my knees distract you from reading this poster?” “Even Jesus wore a skirt” and “Stop sexism. Start education.”
(One sign said “My body, my choice”… which suggests a complete ignorance of Catholic dogma.)
They raise some good points, though. If the skirts are too short, then the school should enforce its own rules. If the appropriate-length skirts are a distraction, then the school should say something to the men. It’s ultimately not the girls’ fault that other people can’t deal with their fashion. And why did the school make girls pay for special uniforms that are now banned only for them?
The girls also point out an obvious double standard: The school has a rule prohibiting facial hair on boys, too, but they’re not very strict about enforcing that. A girl wears a comfortable skirt, however, and all hell breaks loose.
An anonymous and brief petition posted at Change.org calls for the skirts to remain in place. It has thousands of signatures, and the comments are a joy to read:
At least there’s one upside to the change:Ok so the reasoning behind this was that “male teachers are uncomfortable”. If a male teacher feels uncomfortable over the length of a MINOR’S skirt, they have no business being anywhere near a high school. Maybe try to crack down on that rather than continuing to sexualize underage girls?
Tell the boys to keep their eyes up and there won’t be a dang issue
Girls’ clothing at school especially should allow them to feel comfortable in their bodies, not restricted by the opinion of faculty with a superiority complex and need to dictate their bodies. The challenges and complexities of being a growing teenage girl do not need to be heightened by further unnecessary dress codes that instill in girls what is or isn’t “appropriate” through the lens of adults unfamiliar with the pressures and anxieties of being a teenage girl in 2019.
Well, at least they’re quickly learning what it means to be a woman in the Catholic Church. If they have the option to leave, they should take it."“Oh my gosh it is so bad right now,” said Mimi Cleary, another student. “Everyone wants to leave Cathedral, and it’s like not the best.”

Deadlock situation. I believe the Bible forbids trousers and such.
What now?

I think the third one in has two different length socks. Maybe she did it on purpose to see if anyone would notice.

Technically, pedophilia involves prepubescent aged children. So then, me liking to see the exposed legs of high school Catholic young ladies would not make me a pedophile.

In many parts of the Planet, people are beginning to shake their heads with the same wonder...
... as in, "What on Earth were they thinking?"
Having grown up in the Catholic school system, and now living in the #metoo world, I can totally understand why the staff of such schools would make this decision.
When "just believe the accuser, no matter how ridiculous the accusation" is the prevailing world view, I'd just make everyone wear the same thing.
Ankle length pants.
