    It is reasonable to consider this because it teaches boys to be civil and to respect others of the opposite gender. Instead of the having the dress code, “teach female students that their bodies are a problem… they should really be teaching acceptance and body positivity, and also human rights” (Wente). If in place of school dress codes students were taught human and civil rights it would benefit the youth and have them be more socially aware. While this solution may teach the youth of more issues, it is not guaranteed to work because not everyone will listen or learn. Even after kids have gone to a lesson, this will not stop rape or the culture that is created because of the dress code.…

    Overall, the school dress code is biased towards females, it sexualizes the female body and humiliates the female students. The rules harass females, blaming them for showing skin, distracting male students with their bodies, and taking away any rights they have by directing the rules at them. Females should no longer be treated this way, and the school dress code needs to stop being sexist, discriminating and directed at females when they do nothing…

    Everyone has their own opinion on what attire is appropriate for school; some people may feel that some of the clothes that the girls wear is “too much”, but what exactly is too much? A majority would say that revealing shoulders and bra straps are inappropriate, but others would think differently. While some of the clothes people wear shouldn’t be worn in a learning environment, society shouldn’t be biased and make a fair dress code for both male and female students because it can make female women students ashamed of their bodies, which is degrading and makes them out to be sexual objects. With male students having the privilege to wear almost whatever they want, it makes females feel like they should cover up their bodies due to the fact that their bodies can distract boys from getting an education.(Since a females education isn’t as important). There has been many incidents where a female student would be taken out of class or sent home because her shoulders were showing or was wearing shorts on a hot day.…

    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…
