High School Dress Codes!

High school Dress codes!

        Is the dress code fair? Bias? Or even sexist? Over the years, schools all over have established a student dress code, to address a wide range of issues. Some issues for example like your shirt or pants being too revealing, your dress or skirt being too short, and wearing leggings without having anything to cover your front and back end. In my opinion the dress code is unfair, it’s unfair to girls because guys get to wear their version of a “tank top” to school but when girls do it they say it’s to revealing. Girls are unfairly punished because we apparently are wearing inappropriate clothing. All of us are built different so when the dress code is put into play we are punished because we are wearing something that violates the dress code, but really it’s not. I’ve read some articles about other school’s dress code violations and some are ridiculous. I read one where a school had suspended a female student because she exposed her collar bone. There was even one where a student had lost her National Honor Society title because she wore spaghetti straps during a speech and got in trouble for breaking the dress code for a school she didn’t even attend to.

        A lot of people will try and tell you that a woman should really watch how she dresses so she doesn’t tempt men or boys to look at her wrongly. Let me tell you something it is a woman’s responsibility to get up and dress herself in the morning. It is YOUR responsibility to look at her like a human being regardless of what she is wearing. Men will often have the temptation to blame her for their wondering eyes, why because of what she is wearing or even not wearing.  Men shouldn’t have the right to play the victim, they aren’t the helpless victims when it comes to their eyes, they have full control of them. Use that control, woman and even girls should not have to worry about what she’s wearing and then go out into public and have men see our clothes and see us as “sex objects” than the human beings we are.
