Mississippi middle school offers girls shapewear to address 'body image' concerns. - TODAYshow
"Good intentions... but kind of ill-conceived."One Mississippi middle school is backing off its plan to offer shapewear to girls dealing with"body image" issues.
When Ashley Heun’s daughter brought home a school letter requesting her signature, she read it several times before realizing“I decided words and social media is a good tool and I would use that to rally the troops to change this and to really let the school know how exactly tone-deaf it was,” Heun, 45, told TODAY.
The letter asks parents for their permission for school counselors to offer middle school girls shapewear and bras. The school has since ended the program.In the letter from Southaven Middle School sent Tuesday, parents received information about helping girls develop a healthy body image. The school's solution? Shapewear, in part.
The Southaven, Mississippi stay-at-home mom of a teenage girl and 11-year-old son said she felt “really angry” and wrote the school with her concerns. In response, Heun heard back on Wednesday and received an apology in person from the principal at school, who told her they have decided to cancel this program.This is what was sent home with my 8th grade daughter at Southaven Middle School. All girls were sent home with this letter. I’m appalled at the fact that they are trying to fix “negative body image” by sending home SHAPEWEAR!
