    Ah yes, because if it from home they have to report it, while if it is happening at school their zero tolerance policy means they can ignore it.

    What the fuck kind of school gym class doesn’t have any alternative to kids taking their shirts off in class?

    Even the poorest public schools have crappy colored jerseys that go over the regular gym clothes.

    In the grand scheme of shit that never happened, this is near the top.

        I’d hope millennial would be old enough to understand shirts vs skins.

        Age has nothing to do with how unlikely it is that a school gym class would have students take off their shirts to differentiate teams in a game.

          Age does. It was very, very common ~35 years ago, especially in urban or country schools where money wasn’t spent on “such frivolous things”.

            I can confirm it occurred in my experience about 20 years ago. We had a set of color vests, but those were for the girls.

          I know the concept but we never did this in school, but I never took PE more than was required so it’s possible I just missed it or didn’t see. It could’ve been a thing in highschool.

          When I was in school it was shirts vs skins. Two separate schools in two separate states. I’m 39.

          At Christian academy we played horse though.

        Highschool in hicktown, our salty freak of a gym teacher would let girls stay inside and walk laps.

        Boys go outside to play whatever sport, or sometimes go to the tiny wrestling room for dodgeball, and it’d be shirt v skins. Usually he’d pick the fat kids to be skins cuz they needed more “motivation”.

        Weird to me that people think shirts v skins is fake when there’s way weirder shit schools do to kids. We had our biology teacher take the class to his barn down the road and help shear his alpacas for extra credit. Like, school staff can do whatever the hell they want, and kids will just say “okay” if they don’t know any better.

          Meh, we played shirt vs skins in summer when it was getting hot outside. They had sashes but people just wanted to be a bit cooler.

            We played shirts vs skins in the middle and high school gym. If we had sashes I never seen them.

            One of many reasons I didn’t dress out and got suspended every 3 days for 3 days until the principal figured out it was happening.

            God I hated my gym teacher.
