This article is about students fighting to be able to wear leggings to school. They understand that leggings are not pants, however, they are comfortable and convenient. This article also talks about how students are allowed to wear skirts and dresses which shows way more skin then leggings could ever.
This article relates to my school because we have dress code, even though it isn't as strict as most school. We are allowed to wear leggings however, when we have important event we are not. Some schools banned leggings and allow dresses and skirts, which I feel is bizarre. Leggings do not show much skin. But if your pantie line is that big of a distraction you personally should do something about it.
What is the central idea of the passage and how is it developed and refined throughout the selection?
The idea of this central passage is that leggings should be allowed as long as there isn’t that big of a distraction. For example, the author claims “if you're going to restrict anything, it should be the extremely distracting bulge that occurs when an individual has on a pair of too tight, too low-rise jeans” (Zhang) because this shows a lot of skin which people overlook everyday. Also, the author feels like “the personal choice of girls to wear leggings has come under attack” (Zhang),she feels as if it should be the females personal choice to wear leggings while she’s at school. I believe her main argument is if you're comfortable in it, without showing too much skin it should be allowed.
