Change Palm Beach County's School dress code
The Issue
I am starting a petition to change the sexist school dress code in palm beach county. I am hoping that the great people of Florida will help me by signing it the link is below
The last update made to our dress code was in 2013. The obviously outdated dresscode, with offenses like "sexually suggestive" clothing includes midriff (stomachs), muscle tops (tank tops), low cut tops, etc. Especially in Florida, where weather is especially hot, we should not have to cover up just because the school says so.We demand midriff, muscle tops, backless tops, and low cut tops to be allowed. Stop sexualizing the students for what they wear.
I am Lauren Belt I recently had scoliosis surgery in May. I can't wear t shirts due to the complications I had while recovering, making my scar very hypersensitive, also due to the same reason I can't open doors without help. Recently I was at school and I went up to a teacher and asked if she could open the door for me and I got yelled at because my shirt was out of dress code, even though I had told her many times I had the doctors note in my bag. Then it went to the rips in my jeans, I guess according to the school they were ripped up to high. So I had to wait in the office for an hour so my mom could bring me different jeans and talk to the vice principal. I missed my first hour class (which is one of my favorites) because of the rips in my jeans.
Now does that seem fair to you?
This generation of dress codes incriminates progressing clothing items like, sleeveless and backless shirts, different necklines, shorts, and fit types. We have the right to wear these types of clothing and I have started this petition to do just that.
