Gccisd has already taken our electronics the only freedom we have left is to express ourselves through clothes ,hair ,accessories,etc it is disturbing that Gccisd is trying to strip people of their dignity and identity.

Laila supported: Revert the new Sex-Based GCCISD Dress code

I am a current student at Ross S. Sterling high school. If these new dress code rules were to be implemented, I fear the schools in the district would lose funds from parents enrolling their kids. These rules are going against the freedom to choose what students wear or their actual appearance in general. I myself would say I’m a creative student; I wear baggy clothing, have dyed hair, a few piercings. If anything, GCCISD should be focusing on our safety. A child DIED at my school and it is still a issue because that school had barely done anything and it could’ve been easily prevented! But no, they want to worry about the male students wearing skirts, putting makeup on or even having long hair? This is very discriminatory to the LGBTQ+ community. (a reason to be sued as well) We all need to speak up. The first amendment is freedom of speech after all.

Kaiyah supported: Revert the new Sex-Based GCCISD Dress code

The decision to ban skirts for girls isn’t just about uniforms, it reflects a deeper double standard. While boys are free to sag their pants or bend dress code rules without the same scrutiny, girls are being singled out and restricted. This sends the message that our clothing is inherently inappropriate or distracting, which shifts the blame onto us instead of holding everyone to the same expectation of respect. In a Catholic school that preaches dignity, equality, and moral responsibility, it feels hypocritical to enforce a rule that disproportionately limits girls’ expression while overlooking the same behavior in boys. Do better O’dowd.
