Anti Dress Code

Decent Essays
Schools enforcing a dress code on students will hinder them to express themselves who they want to be. For instance, a student who is into superheroes would wear a superman shirt with matching socks. They display the comic in heroes; express the true nerdy side and being a kid who wants to learn. They also can be good in different subject such as art, reading and writing from interest in comics. Or if a girl is into flowers and animals express that they are joyful, bright and cheerful. She could wear a shirt with a lion that express her confidence in what they day brings. She could also wear a sunflower shirt showing that she see world in a bring way. The student who loves cartoons and wearing Looney Toons characters such as Bugs Bunny, and

    At their core, they establish a baseline to uphold in terms of modesty for the facility. In more common terms, the goal of dress codes is to create a distraction-free learning zone. According to the student handbook, students are expected to “dress in appropriate attire which does not distract or offend others” (Source G). 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 is sexist to women and forces them to hide themselves in order to give the male student body less “distractions” in their learning environment. Protestations against this biased code have existed for decades, and no action has been taken. The dress code creates a stigmatism around women's bodies causing them to be insecure, and does not teach men to respect womankind. To prove this, these facts are true.…

    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…
