Why Is It Unfair To Have Dress Codes In Schools

Lawrence High School provides a lot of freedom for the student but there is one rule that I think is absurd and completely unfair to girls which, is the dress code.

I think all as long as girls don’t show any inappropriate parts of their body it's ok to show a little bit of
