Why this petition matters

Started by Regan Disharoon

In most high schools around America there is a very strict dress code that is mainly directed toward the Woman students of the school. I am going to be using my school, Scotland High School, as an example of this. The first rule of the dress code is that the 3 B's shall be covered, meaning the Breasts, Belly, and Butt. That rule is for women. The next rule is that no pajamas are to be worn, personally I understand this rule but here is the thing.. Walking around my school I see countless men wearing pajama bottoms and not one administrator ever says anything but a woman can't even get through the metal detectors without being stopped and told to go home and change. The next rule that I find the most ridiculous is the three fingertip rule. All shorts, skirts, the holes in jeans, or any dress but not show any skin above your fingertips. I think this rule is stupid because not every girl has the same length arms so some girls cant even wear shorts because their arms are so long. The final rule I will be listing is the three fingertip shirt rule. All straps must be thicker than three fingertips. There are other rules in the handbook such as no sagging, shirts must be worn covering the whole stomach, etc. These rules are for the boys but they might not even not exist because so many guys walk around shirtless with their pants pretty much at their knees but not one person says anything. I have come to the realization that the dress code is enforced to "keep kids focused on their education"  but a woman's clothes have never bothered any other kids, girl or boy. Our shoulders and thighs only seem to bother the adults in the room, most specifically the men. The only thing getting in the way of a women's education at my school is the adults sending us home because they couldn't keep their eyes of our bodies.
