BIGLERVILLE, Pa. – A Pennsylvania high school is taking flak after it issued a letter to students with graduation dress protocol.

While it may have been an attempt to inject some end-of-the-school-year humor, some students aren’t laughing.

The letter from Biglerville High School directs female students to “keep ‘the girls’ covered and supported,” hide “sausage rolls,” and warned “you can’t put ten pounds of mud into a five pound sack,” according to ABC 27.

It forbids clothing “so small that all your bits and pieces are hanging out.”

Male students didn’t escape the administration’s ridicule, either.

The letter told boys to “PULL YOUR PANTS UP! Your underwear choices should be your own private choice and remain private. Besides, it is a really bad look to be walking in hanging on to your drawers to keep them from falling down.”

“You’re supposed to feel safe and comfortable here. For a letter like that to come from the administration is really appalling,” senior Brianna Burtop says.

“You can’t talk to women like that in a work place. It’s just totally wrong. It’s totally degrading,” Brianna’s mother, Jessica Burtop, adds.

The Upper Adams School District issued a statement after Burtop posted the letter on social media, saying someone no longer with the district is to blame.

The Administration acknowledges that some individuals have found certain language in the document to be inappropriate or in poor taste.

The document was drafted years ago, and the author of the original document has since retired.

The document does not reflect the high standards of the Upper Adams School District, and the Administration will take appropriate action to address the issue.

While we regret that the document contained some unfortunate word choices, we do respect all students and hope this does not distract from the dignity of the graduation ceremony and the accomplishments of our graduating class.

Others didn’t think the letter was a big deal.

“All it takes is for one person to post their opinion on social media and it becomes a wildfire and spreads,” Curie Runk, a previous graduate of Upper Adams, tells The Morning Call.
