Mom Calls Out School For Making Her Daughter Adhere To Misogynistic Dress Codes While They Made Masks ‘Optional’Jonas Grinevičius and Denis TymulisLife’s a two-way street: if you tell students and their parents that an important (and life-saving) school policy is optional, you shouldn’t be surprised when they apply the same logic to all the other policies in place.
