A pair of leggings and a long, loose-fitting shirt probably seems like a comfortable clothing choice for a student who will spend most of her day sitting behind a desk in a classroom. However, after administrators at one Texas high school sent home a girl for wearing exactly that, the debate over how school dress codes seem to unfairly target girls has been reignited.

The controversy began last Tuesday when Macy Edgerly, a senior at Orangefield High School in Orangefield County, Texas, was booted off campus for wearing leggings and a long shirt to school. Her older sister, Erica, took to Facebook, posted the above photo of her little sister’s outfit, and vented her frustration over the situation.

“I'm sorry but I have to stand up for my family and for women who are degraded and judged for their bodies and clothing everyday. People wonder why women feel insecure about their bodies or what they wear,” wrote Erica. “And it's [because] you're told your clothing is inappropriate when you're completely fully clothed, even when you're not showing cleavage or anything.”

Although boys can sometimes run afoul of school dress codes for wearing shirts with inappropriate sayings or for wearing sagging pants, in recent years, girls have seemed to be the target of most campus crackdowns. Last August a high school principal in Oklahoma sparked community outrage when she humiliated female students and made them cry after instructing them to bend over so she could check how long their shorts were. In May, a school in Utah photoshopped the yearbook photos of girls it deemed were dressed immodestly.

Incidents of girls being punished for their clothing don’t just happen in schools in the United States. In June, one high school administrator in Montreal went into classrooms to check the length of girls’ shorts and skirts. One of the teens sent home, a girl named Lindsay Stocker, launched a protest with posters that she taped on the school’s walls and doors. “Don’t humiliate her because she is wearing shorts. It’s hot outside. Instead of shaming girls for their bodies, teach boys that girls are not sexual objects,” read Stocker’s posters.

In the caption on the Facebook photo of her sister’s outfit, Erica Edgerly echoes those sentiments.

“How about instead of body shaming women, school systems should start teaching 15-18 year old boys to stop degrading women with their eyes and contributing to the rape culture of today's society,” she wrote. “Bottom line, girls cannot go to school in comfortable clothes THAT COVER EVERYTHING because school systems are afraid that hormonal boys won't be able to control their eyes and minds. And that is such a bigger problem than worrying about clothing.”

The school district has declined to discuss the situation owing to confidentiality laws. However in a statement given to Today.com, superintendent Stephen Patterson seemed to suggest that Macy Edgerly’s loose-fitting shirt didn’t meet the fingertip rule, which is spelled out in the Orangefield High School student handbook. If leggings are worn to school, the accompanying top has to be “below fingertips when hands are held straight down at your side,” according to the handbook.

As for Erica Edgerly, on Wednesday she posted an update on her Facebook page saying that she understood that because her sister’s shirt wasn’t as long on the sides, the outfit technically violated the Orangefield High dress code.

“I understand that there are always rules that need to be followed, (and my sister thought she was following them) and the administration has a job to do,” she wrote. However, continued Edgerly, “so many young girls (and their mothers) have messaged me thanking me because their school sent them home for being fully clothed, but one part of their outfit hugged one part of their God given bodies a little too tight, and was seen as inappropriate and that is the real issue here.”
