SOCIAL media is in uproar over a school’s decision to send an 18-year-old girl home for being inappropriately dressed, even though she was covered by clothes that showed very little skin.

The Mirror reports that Macy Edgerly was ordered home by teachers for wearing the “revealing” outfit of leggings and a long-sleeved top — prompting older sister Erica to take a picture of the outfit and upload it to Facebook.

In a statement accompanying the picture - which has been shared more than 90,000 times - Erica Edgerly slammed the school’s actions, saying such rules “encourage rape culture”.

“Today, my sister was sent home from school for wearing the clothes in the picture,” Erica wrote.

“I have to stand up for my family and for women who are degraded and judged for their bodies and clothing everyday,” she wrote.

“People wonder why women feel insecure about their bodies or what they wear ...

“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.

“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.”

Her Facebook post has become a viral hit, with commenters calling the school’s decision ridiculous.

“That follows all of the school guidelines that they told us at the beginning of this year ... There were girls at school today wearing shorter shirts than her and nothing happened to them,” one person wrote.

“Wait ... I’m still confused as to why she was sent home? She’s completely covered and looks comfortable!!! That’s so ridiculous. I’m annoyed for the rest of the day after seeing this,” another added.

The school released a statement saying: “While the District cannot disclose or discuss the details of any student’s disciplinary or educational matter due to federal and state confidentiality laws, we want to assure our community that Orangefield ISD strives to maintain a positive and successful learning environment for our students free from disruption and distraction, which includes enforcement of our student dress code.”
