Cape Cod school joins the war on yoga pants
A school in Cape Cod has entered into America’s war on yoga pants.
Female students at Cape Cod Tech are subject to a new dress code, which requires them to wear shorts or a skirt over yoga pants, Fox 25 reports.
Some male students at Cape Cod Tech get distracted by girls in yoga pants, and act innappropriately, Fox 25 reports. But rather than focus on the boys’ behavior, the school has elected to restrict what girls can wear.
According to Fox 25, the school said the change would help promote professional dress, but not all the female students buy that. Now some are organizing an event on Facebook called “First Day = Yoga Pants.’’ Over 200 girls have responded to the call to legs, and will wear the banned pants come September 2nd.
This is just the latest installment of tight-pant related controversy accross the country. In February, educators at Rockport High School began strictly enforcing a dress code as yoga pants and leggings were distracting for boys. Weymouth Public Schools similarly wrestled with the tight pants pickle, as they were “disruptive.’’ A school in California also deemed them “too distracting for teenage boys.’’ If only there was a common theme that could be identified and solved.
