A high school student in Florida claims she was humiliated by teachers who asked her to cover her “protruding” nipples with Band-Aids because they were a “distraction” to boys in her class.
Lizzy Martinez, 17, first shared her disgust via Twitter last Tuesday, saying she was “pulled out of class” for wearing no bra under a long-sleeved tee-shirt. She criticised Branden River High School for “sexualising” her body.
"I decided not to wear a bra today and got pulled out of class bc one of my teachers complained that it was a 'distraction to boys in my class'.

She should wear a bra to school, problem solved.
Not necessarily, then they run the risk of their visible bra straps being distracting (shock, horror!). Better to teach the boys to grow up and mind their own business.
No, not "problem solved". Not only is it none of the school's business what underwear their students are wearing, nipples can poke through shirts while wearing a bra as well. I know from experience and was horribly embarrassed by it as a teenager, until I discovered t-shirt bras at some point in my early 20s.
