A policy that I disagree with at this school is one regarding swimming in gym class.  Girls are required to either wear a one-piece or wear a shirt over their bikini.  I think that this is unfair considering the boys are allowed to be shirtless at almost any point in time during this class.  I don't see how it is much different.  My freshman year I had to wear a one-piece during swimming and it made me more self-conscious than a two piece would've.  I did not like the lack of support that a one-piece provides in the breast region.  I feel that developing teens should be able to wear whatever they would like during their swimming portion of gym class as long as what they are wearing does not show an immense amount of cleavage.

    I agree, the issue can almost be looked as sexist as guys can do whatever they want while girls have to obey the policies instituted by the school.

    I agree, I believe woman should be able to choose what outfits that they want to swim in inside schools. If males can swim with just trunks, women should be able to swim with a two piece swimsuit, It also may be more comfortable as Morgan stated, but I am no expert in how a swimsuit feels on women when it comes to maneuverability and comfort

    I think that it is sexist also. I think that if you only own one swim suit and you have to swim to get a grade in the class then it shouldn't force you to buy a new swim suit. Thats like paying for your grade. They say that girls showing midriff would distract guys, but wouldn't it be the same the other way around. You should be able to pick what you want to wear in the pool or don't have swimming in school to start with.
