Apparently high schoolers should think twice about wearing tank tops during the warmer months — bare shoulders have become a controversial fashion statement.

Lauren Wiggins, a senior at Harrison Trimble High School in Moncton, New Brunswick, wore a floor-length halter dress to school on May 11 — and received detention for, she says, being a "sexual distraction" and wearing "inappropriate" attire.

Wiggins' outfit was apparently in violation of the school's dress code, which states that "students shall be dressed and groomed in a manner that will neither adversely affect the instructional program nor violate reasonable and acceptable standards of cleanliness, safety, or appropriateness as judged by the principal and administration."

Here is the aforementioned controversial dress:

Wiggins took umbrage at the disciplinary action, and proceeded to pen a note to the school's Vice Principal, Shane Sturgeon, which she then posted to Facebook.

"In today's society, a woman's body is constantly discriminated against and hypsersexualized [sic] to the point where we can no longer wear the clothing that we feel comfortable in without the accusation that we are being provocative," Wiggins wrote. "I will not search for something to cover up my back and shoulders because I am not showing them off with the intention to gain positive sexual feedback from the teenage boys in my school."

Wiggins has received considerable support on her Facebook photos, including comments from her parents.

A similar situation occurred when Macy Edgerly from Orange County, Texas, was sent home from school for wearing leggings and a long athletic shirt, and her sister Erica posted a photo of the offending outfit on Facebook. "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."

Wiggins ended her note to Vice Principal Sturgeon by stating,"If you are truly so concerned that a boy in this school will get distracted by my upper arms and shoulders then he needs to be sent home and practice self-control."
