Teen Morgan Ball Sparks #ClothingHasNoGender Protest After Wearing Shawl To Class

Teen Morgan Ball Sparks #ClothingHasNoGender Protest After Wearing Shawl To Class



Upon seeing his outfit, the school's staff did a couple of things that were questionableto say the least. First, as Styleite reports, they removed Ball from class and told him to remove parts of his ensemble.
ABC News reports that after being asked to remove some of his clothing, one of the assistant principals asked Ball, "Do you have a gender identity issue? Are you aware that you're wearing women's clothing?" (Um, what?)
Now, the school has a dress code that allows teachers and other staff to veto clothing if they think it's "distracting attire," however, it's tough for us to tell if Ball's outfit was actually causing a threat or disrupting the other students. The way we see it, if his clothes weren't hurting anyone, why shouldn't he be allowed to wear them?
Upon hearing of the incident, people all over social media began protesting the dress code, sharing the hashtag #ClothingHasNoGender. A simple search of the hashtag on Twitter brings up hundred of tweets supporting Ball and his right to wear what he wants. The story began trending on the weekend, and has since sparked a massive movement online.
Even fashion designer Jeremy Scott caught wind of the story, and tweeted about it to his 300,000-plus followers
