Education

Jessyca Altenbach and Monica Cummings

I don't think these girls are dumb. What's foolish is their philosophy regarding the similarity or difference between sexes. To the equality fanatics, this is a simple case:

Follow up:

X is allowed to do Y
Z isn't allowed to do Y
Therefore it's unfair.

The girls fail to take into account that (warning: shocking idea approaching) girls and guys are different. Girls have breasts which men find sexual to the point of distraction. Men have chests which women find attractive, I'm sure, but don't produce the same effect, generally. In other words: ITS DIFFERENT!

Logic:

The school won't let students dress in overtly sexual attire because it produces disruptive behavior and a sexually charged atmosphere.

Female breasts cause this reaction in men: Male breasts don't produce a similar effect.

Therefore, females may not go topless and men may.

I won't even mention that the difference is reinforced by tradition since most people wouldn't care.

Of course, the school is "reviewing" it's policy which means they're about to do something stupid to avoid getting sued by the ACLU. They'll probably make boys wear shirts. Happy?

Two Bradenton, Florida teenagers, Monica Cummings and Jessyca Altenbach, were so excited when they put on bikini tops and shorts and painted their bodies with their school colors to support the big homecoming game.

At first all they received were compliments. That is until administrators at Manatee High School say people started to complain, saying the girls appeared to be topless.

When Cummings and Altenbach ran into the principal and were told they had to leave because they were causing a distraction and were violating the school’s dress code, they were shocked.

“He just told us to leave," Cummings told MyFOXTampaBay. "Just flat out, 'You ladies need to leave.'”

Cummings said she responded by asking, “How come you're trying to kick us out, but the guys did it before?” She says her principal’s response was, “I'm not going to debate this with you."

Monica's mother, Becky Willmon, says the body painting was nothing more than good, clean fun.

"She was very covered and the way they were painted you couldn't see any cleavage," Willmon told MyFOXTampaBay.

The girls see the expulsion as a double standard, which they say they will continue to challenge.

School officials are now reviewing their dress code policies.
