On Monday, April 2nd, 2018, Martinez was summoned to the office of school dean Violeta Velazquez and told that her lack of bra was “distracting” to other students.

She was told to cover her nipples and eventually had the school nurse cover her nipples with bandaids.

Martinez felt that it was a big deal that she wasn't wearing a bra as she doesn't wear one on most days.

She went to the bathroom and cried.

After feeling like she was unheard and understood, she left early from school.
