Gregg Ingersoll, the superintendent of Anglophone East School District, states that most dress codes are designed to try to keep the focus on the learning instead of the parts of a body that may or may not be exposed (“"School dress codes 'demeaning'”). The underlying reason for such an environment, as deemed by many schools, is the intent to protect girls from the biological impulses of their male peers.…
Ever since we started school we’ve had to deal with dress code. However, schools have different rules such as whether you have to wear uniforms or how short your skirts can be. My elementary school required us to wear uniforms and as the years went on the dress code got progressively stricter. When I moved on to high school it wasn’t much better. They would constantly send people to the office to get a change of clothes, but by doing this they also removed students from their classes, making them fall behind.…

We, the student body of West Florence High, declare independence from the FSD1 mandated dress code.

The dress code should be less strict in that we dress to show our personalities and express ourselves. It should also be less derogatory towards female students, because “their bodies will distract the boys,” is a sexist statement claiming that boys will be boys and that girls just need to deal and accept it. Most girls breaking the dress code do not do it for attention, but when they spend money on clothes that have nothing wrong with them they want to wear them. In fact, it is hard to find clothes manufactured to actually fit the “dress code” due to designers conforming to society's new…
