Cheerleader Uniforms

Decent Essays
Many teenagers are outraged because they strongly believe that school dress code should apply to cheerleader uniforms as well. However, others contend that cheerleading outfits are a tradition and are fine just how they are. Ultimately, cheerleading uniforms should comply with dress code regulations because the cheerleading skirt is well above the length limit, since all girls must follow dress code regulations, cheerleaders should too, and because short cheerleading skirts are improper and provocative.

In her article, Rhode states, “Although the government is no longer in the business of enforcing such discrimination, it still allows businesses, schools, and other organizations to indulge their own prejudices.” (Rhode 244) With her saying this it could not be any truer because it still applies to Cedartown High School.

    My movie shows the struggle of pushing cheerleading to become recognized as a sport, and lists the reasons of why it should be. As a cheerleader, many times, I have had to have this argument with other athletes in order to prove the hard work, passion, and dedication that is required of this sport. This is why I chose to make it into a movie, so that I could persuade others into agreeing with me. The audience that I am reaching to with this method of justification will be mostly children and teens that are against cheerleading simply because they do not understand it. For many years, we cheerleaders have found ourselves in constant disputes with our peers and NCAA, discussing whether cheerleading should be considered an official sport or not.…

    If the situation is getting out of hand such as when the Albemarle County, Va passed rules towards a new dress code when lawsuits were filed and eventually taken to court where the judge said,”’the dress code is too broad-- and may be unconstitutional’”(Robson para. 6). With a school under these lawsuits and feeling as though their students are wearing inappropriate clothing; the easiest way to handle the situation is to enforce a school uniform. This way all genders are treated equally, the reasoning behind the rules are set in a reasonable manner, and the dress code is easy for everyone to follow. All schools that don't require a certain uniform including Jackson High School should adjust their dress code with the ideas of: the difficulty to follow the dress code, the reasoning behind the dress code, and the inequality of gender treatment. These changes in all schools alike would make the environment so much better for teenage girls constantly on the search for clothes that are, cute, appropriate, and fit their size.…
