School punished teen girl for working out in sports bra in 100-degree Texas heat

A Houston-area teen enlisted the help of the American Civil Liberties Union after she says her school reprimanded her for working out in a sports bra while male athletes were allowed to practice shirtless.

The girl, who was only identified by her initials G.H., says she is a cross-country and track athlete at Spring Woods High School in Houston. In a press release from the local ACLU chapter, she said she was disciplined for wearing a sports bra while she was working out in 100-degree heat.

According to the release from the ACLU, after the student complained, the school district staff then “regarded G.H. dismissively and denied her an award for being the top runner on the girls’ cross-country team.”

The student says she has the best performance record on the team and has never missed a practice. She says the award would have been “critical” for college applications and recruiting.
