'It's 2019 and that's not something I want my daughter to be taught,' the Nassau County student's mother, Kate Darrow, said.
The medium was the message at one intermediate school in Nassau County, Florida, this week, when boys and girls wore protest shirts to class after a 9-year-peer was told to cover up her shoulders because they were"distracting to the boys."told Action News Jax"Right there, I knew that that was an issue...It's 2019 and that's not something I want my daughter to be taught," she said.
Photos show the Nassau County mother's older son and a friend appearing to also don the"real men aren't distracted by shoulders" shirts in solidarity with the 9-year-old. "Shirts must cover midriff area and may not have spaghetti or thin straps less than two inches," the school policy states, adding that students may not wear"racer-back cut tank tops or see-through clothing."
While the Callahan Intermediate School's student handbook refers readers to the Nassau County Code for a"more extensive explanation of the dress code," thestates that it is ultimately up to individual schools to"decide what is proper clothing for students to wear."

Parent Struggling To Find Good Reason Why 5-Year-Old Shouldn’t Be Afraid Of Starting SchoolFREDERICKSBURG, TX—Searching her brain for even the slightest upside, local parent Sarah Bolen found herself struggling Monday to find a good reason why Sophia, her 5-year-old daughter, should not be afraid of starting the first grade. “Don’t worry, there’s nothing to be scared of, other than constant judgment from dozens of kids you don’t know,” said Bolen said, stressing that little Sophia was not to let the combined pressures of academic and social achievement get to her despite the fact that how she performs in school and how she is perceived by peers would determine the trajectory and outcome of her entire life. “You’re going to make so many friends, honey! Though there are actually a lot of people who aren’t that good at making friends, and you could very likely be one of them. Oh, and now that I think of it, it’s true that school shootings happen sort of all the time now.” Bolen also assured her daughter that even in the event that she had a bad first day, things would get better eventually, provided she was not kidnapped on her walk home.
