Tori DiPaolo is so over her school’s sexist dress code. 
 
 The senior at West Milford High School in New Jersey called out her school’s dress code in her yearbook quote. “I’m sorry, did my shoulders distract you from reading this quote?” DiPaolo’s quote reads underneath her senior photo. 
 
 DiPaolo tweeted her senior yearbook photo and quote on June 13 with the caption: “Tori: 1; Dress Code: 0.” 
 
 According to Yahoo Style, West Milford High School’s official dress code prohibits “halters, half-shirts, shorts, or sweaters and blouses that expose breasts or stomachs.” DiPaolo told Yahoo that she became “a bit infamous” for fighting her school administration on its dress code. 
 
 The teen told HuffPost she chose that quote because she found it “ironic.” 
 
 “I chose my senior quote because I found it ironic that the classic robes we take pictures in technically violated dress code,” she said. “Really, I just wanted to get a few laughs.” 
 
 Similar to many other dress code issues that have surfaced on the internet, DiPaolo said her school’s dress code is inherently sexist because it’s only enforced for women. ||||| High school senior Tori DiPaolo is now a hero on Twitter for using her senior quote to fight sexism. 
 
 DiPaolo's school, West Milford High in New Jersey, bans girls from wearing shoulder baring tops on most days, but the robes required for senior photos happen to show a whole lot of ... wait for it ... shoulder. 
 
 DiPaolo called attention to this blatant contradiction with a self-quote: “I’m sorry, did my shoulders distract you from reading this quote?” 
 
 Let's just say Twitter was here for it. 
 
 This is the best senior quote ever. You're a fucking iconic ass queen & I applaud the fuck out this shit FUCK IT UP QUEEN👏👏👏👏👏 https://t.co/29vsd6JALw — Brittany🌈 PINNED (@LitLikeBrittt) June 17, 2017 
 
 You are an awesome young lady with the world at your fingertips. Never settle and don't let the system box you in. GL — Angel Valdez (@GiJoeValdez) June 16, 2017 
 
 yo Tori, this is hype a/f. I applaud this shit — Nik Latrone (@NikHasTricks) June 17, 2017 
 
 It really is the perfect quote coming from someone who describes themselves as infamous for fighting their school's dress code double standards. 
 
 DiPaolo finds that her school unfairly applies the dress code to girls but not boys. 
 
 “My school’s dress code prohibits boys from wearing muscle shirts," DiPaolo told the Huffington Post. "But they do all the time and don’t get in trouble yet, when my bra strap accidentally slips I have to miss class time to go change." 
 
 A+ trolling, Tori. Calling out sexism with honors. ||||| One New Jersey teenager was such an outspoken opponent of her school’s dress code that she decided to have one final say on the subject — through her yearbook quote. 
 
 Victoria DiPaolo, who is set to graduate from West Milford High School next week, made a fashion statement with her senior portrait by wearing a shoulder-revealing black top (a traditional drape that many women put on) and a cheeky comment to accompany it. 
 
 
 
 
 
 While most of her peers chose quotes from historical figures and celebrities, DiPaolo went with, “I’m sorry, did my shoulders distract you from reading this quote?” 
 
 On her inspiration for the quote, the 18-year-old tells Yahoo Style, “Over the past four years, myself and many of my friends have received dress code violations for clothes that were nowhere near inappropriate. I became a bit infamous around school for fighting the administration about dress code, so I figured I’d use my senior quote as one final jab. I just found it funny that the outfits for senior portraits technically violated the dress code by exposing our shoulders, so I saw my opportunity and ran with it.” 
 
 She shares that she never really agreed with her school’s dress code throughout her high school career. 
 
 “It’s all based on sexism, and it is completely unreasonable,” she says on the code. “There have been a number of incidents where I was called into the office due to what I was wearing. Whether it was my bra strap showing, or my midriff being a quarter inch exposed, administration always gave me a problem.” 
 
 The official dress code for West Milford Public High School reads, “Halters, half-shirts, shorts, or sweaters and blouses that expose breasts or stomachs may not be worn. Shorts and skirts should not be a distraction. They should not be above the extended fingertips. Muscle shirts, mesh shirts, and loose-fitting tank tops are not permitted. Patches, decals, or sayings affixed to clothing are inappropriate if they are suggestive, drug-related, obscene in nature, or cause a disruption in normal proceedings.” 
 
 The code also details, “no article of clothing is permitted that exhibits rips, tears, or holes that causes the clothing to become revealing or suggestive.” 
 
 She shares that she often took a strong stance against the administration when being reprimanded. “I’m an AP student, in academic clubs, and on the tennis team — I’m not exactly a delinquent — but I’ve spent hours sitting in principal’s offices because 40-year-old men were offended by my back showing. They would tell me to change or go home, so my classic response was ‘How much of my skin is exposed when it’s 90 degrees out is more important than me receiving an education at a school? Okay.'” 
 
 She continues, “At one point I put a shirt right over mine, asked if my principal was happy, then got up and walked out of his office and ripped off the T-shirt. I got pretty rebellious, but I never actually received disciplinary action because I argued my point; no one likes to hear that they’re sexist and oppressive.” 
 
 The reception DiPaolo has received from the quote has mostly been positive. 
 
 “After making this my quote most of my classmates laughed and complimented me. A lot of people also posted it on their social media,” she says. 
 
 “One of my teachers actually came up to me to tell me she loved my quote and thought it was hilarious. Most teachers have laughed at it. The general consensus at my school — unless you’re the principal — is that the dress code is ridiculous so people have loved the quote so far.”

– Senior yearbook quotes are by and large boring inspirational sayings gleaned from a quick Google search. But Tori DiPaolo, a senior at West Milford High School in New Jersey, wanted to make a point: That what she (and all the other girls) at her school were asked to wear for the photo broke the school dress code, and that the code itself is ridiculous. "I'm sorry, did my shoulders distract you from reading this quote?" she had printed, and then sent out a photo of the page on Twitter with the words: "Tori: 1. Dress code: 0." As Mashable reports, "Twitter was here for it," with hundreds of retweets and likes and mostly supportive comments. DiPaolo tells HuffPost that she chose the quote because she finds it "ironic that the classic robes we take pictures in technically violated dress code." Plus, she said, "I just wanted to get a few laughs" because "no one is distracted by shoulders." She tells Yahoo that the dress code is not enforced equally at her school, with boys prohibited from wearing muscle shirts but not getting punished for it. "I'm an AP student, in academic clubs, and on the tennis team—I'm not exactly a delinquent—but I've spent hours sitting in principal's offices because 40-year-old men were offended by my back showing." Reactions range from, "This is honestly the best thing I've ever seen" to, "Not sure about the hair, though. You could do more with it." (This outfit got this college student kicked out of a mall.)
