Tradition begs that gals who graduate wear dresses. But, there are times when tradition must be retired, especially those that feed the gender gap.
Women wear suits to work and have earned the right to equal pay (though we all know what is moral and ethical correct is not always practice); and, they should graduate besides their male peers in pants.
I want to commend the two young ladies in the above article for challenging the status quo and asserting their equal rights.
At the risk of raising some ire, I have to admit that I am boggled by the passive-aggressive policy that Christiana High will employ at graduation. The shirt and tie ranks will grow by two, among a sea of dresses. That's right, folks, our ladies in pants, will also be sporting shirts with ties.
Fortunately for those who've broken the glass ceiling, girls look cool in ties. But, should common sense prevail, I'd prefer to see young ladies in blouses, tie optional.
