High school dress codes have gone way too far, Entity reports.

School dress codes have always been bullshit and sexist. But it feels like they’ve reached a tipping point with Summer from Hickory Ridge High School.

Summer wore a green, long-sleeved shirt that rested a bit off of her shoulders, revealing her – Gasp! – collar bone, and apparently that was just too risqué for North Carolina. OF COURSE it was freaking North Carolina, where civil liberties go to die.

Anyway, she was approached in the cafeteria by the principle who sounds quite like an angry, little Trump, demanding she put on a jacket. And though Summer didn’t feel as if she needed to, she covered up with her friend’s jacket.

But apparently, that was suddenly not good enough for the principal, who then broke her own rules, insisting Summer go to the control room to change her clothes.

But since Summer’s mother had not been called, she refused to leave her seat. See, the school tyrant, I mean principal, has given Summer problems all four years, so her mother told her not to do anything without calling her first.

So after lunch Summer accompanied her friends to the auditorium… where the principal ordered everyone to leave EXCEPT for Summer. This sounds like a scene from “Matilda.”

Summer recounts the school resource officer standing only a few feet away, with his hand on his gun as the principal threatened, “You either come with me to the control room to change your shirt or we will arrest you.” Are you fucking kidding me? Threatening a student with a gun because a shirt SHOWED SOME COLLAR BONE?! What year is it? How is this allowed?!

She stayed in her seat since she still hadn’t heard from her mother, who then luckily called just before Summer was arrested. “You have to stand up for what you believe in,” Summer says. Props to you, girl.

Summer’s act of resistance earned her a 10-day suspension AND the loss of all senior activities INCLUDING the chance to walk during graduation. Literally for wearing a long-sleeved shirt.

“It’s just sad because I worked so hard for four years to walk across that stage. We have drug dealers walking across that stage. We have sex offenders walking across that stage, and then the 4.4 student who showed her shoulders can’t,” she says.

And on top of all of that, this psychotic nobody of a principal is considering expelling her. Talk about a bloated ego. Like, excuse me, Michelle Cline, I’m sorry that your life sucks so badly that you have to torture bright students with college scholarships to make yourself feel okay.

But that’s not going to keep kids like Summer down for long. And your superiority complex is going to fade. Then you’ll just be stuck with your shitty life, and the legacy you’ve created for yourself as a traitor to your own sex and the Joffrey of public education.

Good luck sleeping at night. Just kidding… I don’t care if you can’t sleep.

And, Summer – keep being a badass. Your college should understand a strong woman is not going to stand down to an idiot like that.
