LYNN, Mass. (WHDH) -- A Lynn English High School student was asked to cover up her T-shirt that read “All the cool girls are lesbians,” which sparked a heated debate at a school committee meeting last week.

"This shirt, as the letters show you, is deemed to be inappropriate and offensive," said Lynn Mayor Judith Flanagan Kennedy. "I felt as though the student made a very good point when she was saying that, 'I was just expressing myself.'"

The student wore the T-shirt in January, but the issue wasn’t resolved until last week when the mayor brought it up to the school committee.

7News wants to know: what kind of dress codes do you think schools should enforce if any at all?
