Teenagers should be allowed the freedom to express themselves especially in a place that forces them to be there. Harmless things like unnatural hair dye, off-the-shoulder shirts, leggings with no baggy shirt to cover the behind, and pajama pants all get you sent directly to in-school-suspension. Permian is no longer a place of comfort, especially for teenagers so passionate about experimenting or expressing their unique identities. Permian is now so restrictive on the students' clothing and hair choices that anything they deem 'distracting' is now unright the moment you step onto school grounds. When did school become more about control? When did school become more about the students' appearance than the learning taking place at the school? Since when did hair color distract anyone? Dress code is understandable at businesses, but why is unnecessary dress code that only nurtures control over students seen as justified? Help the students at Permian High School regain their expressive identities once more and terminate unfair dress code restrictions.
