According to Reese Fischer, a junior at the school who helped organize the protest, their actions aren't to protest CCSOA's dress code itself, which is pretty standard, banning things like pants being worn below the waist, exposed undergarments, clothes with profanity, obscenity, or violence, and bare skin between the upper chest and mid thigh. Instead, Reese and other students are protesting the way administrators enforce the dress code, which they say unfairly targets female students.

The departure was treated like a death, for they would never be seen again. Crossing The Bridge had a fi...
