"Dress Code, No leggings. Why?"


"Dress Code, No leggings. Why?"
The Issue
In my county school, there is a dress code that states students can not wear leggings/yoga pants. And if they where to wear yoga pants, they would have to be wearing a dress down to their knees. They cannot wear a t-shirt, whether it be cover your bottom and front or not. If you where to wear leggings without a dress down to your knees, your parent would have to either bring you a change of clothes or you would be sent to ISS. Today in my school a few girls wore yoga pants, and got sent to ISS. In other schools children would be sent home or the same, ISS. Their reason for the decision of dress code is that leggings/yoga pants are too distracting to males because they are "too tight on the bottom". Now wouldn't skinny jeans or any pants show your bottom? But those are allowed. Thats not right. In schools you sit down most of the time, so boys couldn't see your bottom, unless you are transitioning to the next class. Leggings should be allowed in ALL schools, they're just like any other bottoms/pants.
