Dress Code: a Critical Look The school bell rings, and the students all file into their first class. The teacher enters the classroom and looks them over with a critical eye. “Smith!” The teacher points at the only kid in the room that is different. Amidst the sea of brown, black, and blonde hair, hers is a bright, fluorescent, pink. Her cheeks heat and she stops trying to pull her homework out of her bag. Some of her classmates snicker as the teacher orders her to the Principal 's office, while…

I am writing you this letter today to express my concerns with the school dress code. I am a female, senior at California High School and have been in this community all of my life. Therefore, I have witnessed many dress code regulation concerns. I personally think dress code is a good thing, if and only if it is well executed. However, when administrators and teachers only go after certain people, and not all of them, that is where my problems lie. Not only are fellow female students being…

always find something to say about, it is dress code. From the infamous leggings rule to what appears as rapidly growing tolerance for everyday attire, there is always an air of buzz and even mystery surrounding WCA’s dress policies.

When teachers give dress code violations to a girl for wearing shorts that are too short or because her choice in clothing is ‘innappropriate’, you are telling her that hiding her body and normal female parts (such as stomach, shoulders or thighs) is more important than her education. You are also telling her that a boys’ disturbance-free learning is more significant than her disturbance-free learning.

Have you ever felt violated by school dress codes or seen others get discriminated by them? Being a girl myself, I’ve come to the realization that the dress code is specifically made to restrict females. They discriminate against girls and make them feel like it’s their fault, when boys see them as just an object when we chose to dress how we see fit.
