out of class for wearing your favorite sweater, but it was “too revealing”?The first school law to require a dress code was established in 1969 by the U.S. Supreme Court, known as the Tinker vs. Des Moines Independent School District case.

Over the course of several years, the controversy of allowing dress codes in public schools has been the topic in several school districts. The school districts believe that a dress code will help students to focus more on their education, and the dress code will decrease the amount of inappropriate attire. Thus, the school desires to enforce a strict dress code to all the students in order to further the students’ knowledge and well-being. However, numerous people disagree with the schools…

School dress codes are a big issue in the United States and are a great example of inequality towards female students. Some schools such as catholic schools have a specific attire students are forced to wear. Students can not wear tight clothes and must wear clothes with specific colors. Catholic schools are just one example. In other schools, girls are not allowed to wear shorts that are not fingertip length. Fingertip length shorts are hard enough for most girls to find let alone girls with…

all familiar with dress codes. Some say that they minimize distractions, others say that they minimize creativity. Whether you like it or not, I will throw my hat into the ring, and talk of why I think dress codes are unhealthy for school environments. Shockingly, there is a lot of evidence that supports the claim that dress codes are negative. Dress codes have lost their use, target teenage girls more than boys, and don’t teach kids responsibility. My first point is that dress codes have…

Dress Code is one of the biggest issues that public schools face. There are two opposing sides for the issue. One side sees that having a Dress Code for the school is very helpful for the students, not only academically but to help keep the students equal. The other side of the issue sees Dress Code as a way for student not being able to show free speech. Female students feel they are being categorized as a distraction because of what they wear.

public) have some kind of dress code set in place. Many people think that dress code is unnecessary and many are pro-dress code. I have found that the standard dress code has (for the most part) been interpreted negatively. Dress codes are set in place to prevent distractions from one student to another and to prevent students from wearing inappropriate clothing that puts off bad images about themselves. Although most students should take it upon themselves to dress accordingly, many…

Inexplicable Dress Codes There are many schools that currently have dress codes, some are stricter than others, but there are also some schools which do not have a dress code at all. The female’s dress code seems to lean more towards the covering up more of their body than the male’s dress code consists of. In high school sports, when a male is saw wearing a cut off with his stomach showing there is nothing said or thought about it. While if a female decides to wear a cut off with the side of…

talking about dress code. I believe we deserve the right to dress however we want. The thing that sucks the most is that girls are the ones that get mostly dress coded than boys. The only things boys can get dress coded for is if they wear a California shirt or a plain blue or red while girls get dress coded for off the shoulder tops or anything too short. The thing is there are many things girls can get in trouble for wearing. So my purpose in this speech is too argue about dress code and how…
