Reevaluate dress code policies and punishments

The Issue

Quite recently, Pope high school has begun to enforce an incredibly strict dress code, which includes (but isn't limited to) rules against girls showing their shoulders and legs, and prohibits them from wearing athletic shorts and yoga pants. These rules were created by the Cobb County School District so male students would not get distracted by non sexual female body parts. Dress code, while necesary to an extent, is not being enforced in a manner that is neither fair or appropriate.
