#TEEN GIRL SMALLAND BIG BOOBS CODE#
The Bradenton Herald reported Friday that Teitelbaum would not elaborate on any of the changes or corrective measures, and would say only that the school's administration had a conversation about the incident.īuzzFeed News has asked district officials about the changes to the dress code policy and what, if any, corrective measures were taken to address Knop and Martinez's concerns.
However, it is not clear what any changes might entail. In a Facebook post Friday, she said she wants the district to review its policies and issue an apology.
It states that students "are expected to dress appropriately for school and for the business of learning with proper attention given to personal cleanliness, grooming, and neatness."Īccording to the policy, if a student's "personal attire or grooming distracts the attention of other students or teachers from their school work, disrupts educational activities and processes of the school, or is a potential safety hazard, you will be required to make the necessary alterations to such attire or grooming before entering the classroom or you may be assigned to In-School Suspension (ISS)."Īccording to Knop, who cited conversations she had with Superintendent Diana Greene, the district will be amending its dress code policy to require bras and undergarments. The school's dress code policy does not specifically require or address bras and undergarments. No disciplinary action was taken in relation to the student." It is clear the intent of school officials was to assist the student in addressing the situation. "There was a violation of the School Dress Code and it was an appropriate matter to address by the School. It is undisputed that this matter should have been handled differently at the school level and corrective measures have been taken to prevent a reoccurrence in the way these matters will be addressed in the future," Teitelbaum said. "This matter was brought to the attention of the Superintendent’s Office for review. In a statement released few days after the incident, Mitchell Teitelbaum, the district's general counsel, noted that the situation was mishandled but contended that Martinez broke the rules because she had distracted other students by not wearing a bra. "They had to ask her to stand up and bounce her breasts around to show it was a distraction," Knop added, incredulous. "Why is a 17-year-old girl's breast moving any different? It's a collection of fat cells."
"This whole issue was really eye-opening for me and puts things in perspective because I also have a 13-year-old son and, at that age, they have erections on accident and no one calls them out or sends them home," she said. She added that when she met with school officials, Braden River's principal acknowledged "she didn't see anything wrong" with Martinez's attire.Īfter several meetings that week, Knop said she concluded that school officials unfairly targeted her daughter for attire that was not inappropriate or violated the school's dress code. If a boy was staring at her nipples that long why was he not spoken to or punished?" Knop said in an interview with BuzzFeed News. "It's a disgusting example of a double standard and shows how our culture body-shames women.
