A group of teen girls all students of Joseph-François-Perrault High School launched a Facebook group "Les Carrés Jaunes" (yellow squares) in response to their school dress code, which prohibits certain dressings.

"We consider that most regulations are archaic and that we have the right to claim certain things,” per the group’s mission statement, translated from French. "The Yellow Square is our distinctive sign."
"Moreover, we claim the right not to wear brassières and respect when we do not wear them."

One of the girls spoke about the "restrictive sexist rules":
"We launched the movement to fight the culture of rape and hypersexualization, we want the equality of men and women both in our treatment and how the world views our bodies."
Adding that the group chose yellow because it's a bright color and easily recognizable.

Emphasizing on the physical discomfort of bras, One of the girls, Célestine Uhde, says: 
"In an ideal world,  women would not need to hide their breasts and freely assume their bodies, because Hiding one’s breasts sexualizes them more."
When reached for a comment the school principal Marlène Bureau said:
"We can be proud that our youths question things." 
One of the Facebook group admins, Uhde confirmed that the group has drawn support from both male and female students.

A Florida high school junior, Lizzy Martinez, vowed to attend school without bras after her Dean told her to place Band-Aids over her nipples to prevent male students from becoming "distracted."

Martinez questioned the decision to pull her out instead of preparing the boys for such moment:
"If the boys in my class were so distracted, shouldn't they have been talked to and educated about the situation and not me being pulled out of class?" 
Her mother supported:
"We would not target a male who had excessive breast tissue and ask them to confine the movement."

Another girl, Remy Altuna, a student at Beaumont High School in Calif., was asked to wear a jacket over her black bodysuit to conceal the fact that she wasn’t wearing a bra said:
"Because I wasn't wearing a bra, she didn't want people to think anything bad of me or talk inappropriately or have anything bad to say."
Montana teen Kaitlyn Juvik launched a Facebook page called "Kaitlyn the Braless Warrior" after a male teacher complained he was "uncomfortable" with her look.
"Boys always get the excuse about their hormones, that 'boys will be boys' but instead, perhaps people should start teaching boys not to sexualize women’s bodies. Wearing a bra is a personal choice. It's my body. Why is it anybody else's business whether I’m wearing a bra, especially when I’m covered up and dressed appropriately?"
Helena High School principal, Steve Thennis, said Juvik had "created a manufactured crisis" and according to PEOPLE said, 
"I'm not going to check students' undergarments. We are going to ask them to dress appropriately and if we feel it is inappropriate, male or female, we are going to ask them to cover up."
