Over this last year I have been struggling with my districts dress code policy. I have found that it picks on certain types of girls and I just don't think it is fair. First off, other than the normal rules such as no profanity, the entire dress code focuses on females (IE- short shorts, cleavage, exposed shoulders, etc). The other issue is that it targets certain girls. Skinny, short girls can basically wear whatever they want, while thicker girls (bigger thighs/butts, larger chests, tall) are constantly being scrutinized for wearing THE SAME EXACT CLOTHES as the other girls. Several times this year, I have had girls coming in my room crying about their bodies because of this situation. I want to change the conversation from "she can't wear that but another girl can" to teaching girls how to respect their bodies and the bodies of their classmates.
Uniforms are not an option. 1. They won't fix the issue I am presenting and 2. The community and board would never support this option. I don't want to limit freedoms, I just want to change how they are perceived.
