In August, a group of eighth grade girls took part in an unusual protest in the American state of Maryland.
The girls are students at Urbana Middle School in Frederick County, Maryland. When they walked into Urbana’s dining room in yellow, baggy t-shirts, everyone cheered. The top school official required the group to wear the shirts after violating Urbana’s dress code. But the girls added large lettering to their clothing. It read: “I am more than a distraction.”
