High school's sexist graduation dress code

I assume they were trying to be funny, but it came off as sexist and tone deaf and I can't see how they wouldn't see that female students would be hurt by it. I'm just posting one paragraph but you can read the whole dress code at the link if you want. (I thought maybe we could use a few other topics today.)


One section of the letter asks female students to wear modest attire and keep "the girls" covered and supported. In the same paragraph, the letter asks that students please remember as they select an outfit that nobody wants to see their "sausage rolls". The paragraph concludes with "As you get dressed remember that you can't put 10 pounds of mud in a 5 pound sack".

Some of the people in their school system are Biglerville idiots.

No comments about ass cracks or "sausage" for the lads?

Sexist and stupid.
