The dress code this year is horrible.

The administration is trying to enforce and create a professional environment for high school students.Yet many don’t want to be here and skip class, which obviously isn’t professional, so why would they dress differently? 

The three B’s are the focus: boobs, belly, butt. 

You can tell who this targets – females. 

I know I could be dress coded at least once a week.

I’m not because I am not the target body type. I don’t have curves, so the administration doesn’t see me as a problem.

I don’t understand that. If you’re going to to dress code females over this, dress code everyone.

There are so many things wrong with this: it’s fatphobic, it tells girls if they have over the “societal standard” sized breasts and there’s something wrong with their body. And not to mention the amount of body issues that can come from this dress code. 

Between cutting one of student’s only forms of originality with what they wear to possibly creating eating disorders in teens because you’re going after them for being a bigger size. 

Students are in school for 7-8 hours a day. 

Most of us have jobs that have a dress code within them, so why can’t we show off our own style at school without having to worry about breaking a dress code that is geared to adults?

High schoolers are told to enjoy their youth and the freedom that comes with not yet being an adult. 

So why is our dress code trying to take that away?
