Girl speaks out against short skirts and make-up ban in school
A student who wasn’t impressed after her school banned girls from wearing short skirts and make-up has expressed her views in a video that has now gone viral.
Kambrya College in Melbourne, Australia, has banned girls from wearing short skirts, putting on make-up, and even sending "sexy selfies” in order to protect their integrity.
Look, I am all about self expression and living your worth and truth, but there are also certain guidelines, especially at school, that are there for the pupils' protection. I wasn't at school in a time where sexy selfies and wearing make-up to class was a thing. Sure, there was the occasional short skirt, but being at an all-girls school the impact wasn't the same at, say, a co-Ed school.

I love that this girl is confident and knows her worth, but in the same vein I'm thinking life and school comes with 'rules' and I must say that school is no place for make-up, alluring photographs, and short skirts.
Faith is not the only one who isn’t impressed with the school’s decision. A parent, Catherine Manning, accused the school of slut-shaming the girls by calling an assembly to discuss their appearance, Mashable reported. She said the school should focus on the perpetrators rather than the girls.

Do you think this girl is outspoken or well within her rights?
