Girls Vs. Schools

At my school, like most schools there is a strict dress code mostly obtaining to females. This has struck a lot of peoples attention lately including mine. Most of the dress code is there so our bodies won't be distracting but why do girls have to cover themselves and be ashamed because boys can't help but look and stare. Why can't boys be the one that are taught not to look and be distracted because he can see my shoulder. Girls have to be punished because our bodies are so distracting to boys and is disrupting their learning process. So because we show our knees we're to blame for the 60% the boy that sit next us to us got? I get that there should be a certain guideline on how you should dress while you're at school but, why do we have to look like nuns? Recently one school suspended over 50 students, all of them were girls. Girls already have problems with their body and then a teacher or administrator who is supposed to be supportive tells them to cover up their body it doesn't exactly make a girl feel like she is special. I agree that there should be a guideline but I don't think they should be shaming girls bodies. I think girls should be able to show their bodies and be proud of who they are instead of having to cover it so they don't distract boys from their education. Most girls aren't even dressed proactively they're just wearing a crop top a couple inches above their waist or and off the shoulder shirt, none of this stuff is going to make the boys go crazy and flunk all of their exams. No girls body deserves to be shamed because it effects boys studies, this isn't the 1920's where woman had no rights and the men had all the control over what happens. This is 2015 where girls should be able to wear what they want without being shamed.
