Enforcement of the dress code has recently been advised to teachers and staff to stop. This started second semester, unless seen as something egregious.
“I think the dress code was so sexist and I’m so glad that they decided to stop dress coding people,” sophomore Cameryn Kophamer said.
The dress code has been seen as sexist and unfair for as long as it’s been around. The consensus being that most girls hated having more rules and regulations than the boys.
“I’ve never seen the point of only the girls having a dress code and the boys getting away with practically anything,” freshman Violet Dias said.
Many girls think of the dress code to be ridiculous, and often feel isolated and singled out, with many staff and even teachers calling certain items “distracting” and “too much” for boys to handle.
“It’s so annoying how just showing a little bit of our shoulders is seen as distracting to boys, like can they not handle shoulders for once?” freshmen Leah Thompson said.
Some dress code policies are seen to be taken “too far” as well, with many girls agreeing that they don’t mind having a dress code, as long as it’s not asking for anything demanding and strict.
“I don’t mind having a dress code as long as it’s not super strict, like I don’t want to be wearing something that goes down to my knees, I’m just asking for something more realistic,” freshmen Avery Grace said.
