    Pitman High School students protest against dress code after student gets suspended, handcuffed

    Students at Pitman High School rallied behind a classmate who was suspended and handcuffed for violating the dress code. About 100 students protested the dress code Mondy claiming it is sexist and not evenly enforced. In response, the school district is promising change. The incident all started with a crop top. “He handcuffed me and I had my hands behind my back. And then I went into the golf cart up to the office and he filed a police report,” said Olivia Millentree, a Pitman High School senior. Millentree wore a crop top and leggings to class last week and ...


    Statement from Angela Freeman, Pitman High School Principal:

    The student protest today on dress code has been very peaceful. Pitman students have been respectful and have not caused a disruption to the learning environment. Some students silently participated by wearing a sticker instead of a certain shirt. Our students have provided some good feedback on aspects of our current dress code. In working with students, parents, and PBIS site teams, we will be moving forward at revising the TUSD dress code for the 2021-2022 school year.

    Statement from Marie Russell, Chief Communication Coordinator, Turlock Unified School District:

    Both Turlock and Pitman High Schools are gathering student input and will be following a process to revise the TUSD Dress Code in collaboration with Student Services and our 7-12 site PBIS teams.

    High School Senior Wears A Crop Top To Class — And Gets Arrested For It

    Olivia Millentree, a senior at Pitman High School in Turlock, California, walked into class wearing what she thought was a typical outfit for a teenager — but her teacher deemed it too inappropriate for school. Olivia wore a striped, short-sleeved crop top and leggings, but her teacher said she was "distracting" and instructed her to put on a T-shirt. When she protested, feeling the request was unfair and sexist, Olivia was given a suspension and told to stay off campus completely. “Words were exchanged that should not have been exchanged, and I came back at lunch to apologize for my ...
