Leggings continue to be a point of contention between students and administrators because while girls love wearing them because they're comfortable and versatile, administrators continue to rage against them because, to them, they're inappropriate.

​Mt. Juliet High School administrators in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee reprimanded over 40 girls for wearing leggings yesterday and sent them out of class until they were able to get a change of clothes.

The school's dress code states that students are allowed to wear leggings with an appropriate dress, skirt, or shorts over them - an appropriate coverup falling at least three inches above the knee.

According to Wilson County Schools' spokeswoman, Amelia Hipps, all 40 girls were not wearing appropriate tops with their leggings. "The bottom line is, the tops weren't long enough," she told ​​The Tennesseean. "It didn't have anything to do with the leggings, it was what was (worn) over the leggings not meeting student dress code."

Calls were made to the parents of all the girls who were removed from class and, by the end of the day, only eight students did not meet the dress code. There's no word on whether these eight girls were allowed to return to class.
