Blog # 4 Targetting 'Slutty Students' Students

        On June 8th, 2012 Jessica Valenti put out the website article Targeting 'Slutty' Students expressing her feelings toward dress code violations at high schools but more focused on the judgemental insults being sent out by the New York Stuyvesant High School's principal. Student's from this high school had a weekly protest where students would do their best to break the dress code. Why should someone be able to tell you what to wear? Part of life is having incentives to make certain decisions, and wearing what you choose to wear is a form of expression; everybody should be individual. This reflective piece of writing provides a different view point towards unneeded judgement. Jessica uses appeal to logos, characterization, and imagery to lay her viewpoint on the table.
