  6. dress codes and public schools are unfair to students.
  7. And the and the research brief students dress codes and uniforms.
  8. They discuss how we should be able to find a dress code that works
  9. for everyone including the students by getting
  10. their parents involved in the choice.
  11. There is no real reason for dress codes.
  12. They are made up by the school administration
  13. to stop young Children and teens from being
  14. distractions
  15. in a learning environment.
  16. Once again, dress codes in public schools should not be mandatory.
  17. Now I will discuss how dress codes are unconstitutional,
  18. how they aren't important in the learning environment and
  19. lastly how they can be unfair and sexist.
  20. But first I would like to talk about the dress code definition
  21. by definition,
  22. dress code is a set of rules usually written and posted
  23. specifying the required manner of dress at a school office,
  24. club restaurant et cetera.
  25. For my main point, I will be talking about how dress codes are unconstitutional.
  26. Dress codes are technically illegal according to the First Amendment
  27. and the article of dress codes written by Henry F Kerry, he states that even though
  28. the issue of dress codes has never been taken to the Supreme Court.
  29. Similar cases have been
  30. the article
  31. the court said north Carolina.
  32. Public charter schools may operate outside the constitutional
  33. bounds but are subject to the title.
  34. Five. The landmark sex discrimination law
  35. on the A. C. L. U. Website covers a story about how
  36. a school tried to promote traditional gender roles in schools.
  37. This was later deemed as discriminatory towards girls.
  38. So
  39. my question is if America is the land of the free,
  40. then why aren't students in public schools given the
  41. option to do what they want with their clothing?
  42. My school has a less strict dress
  43. code policy
  44. where a lot of wear holes in our pants leggings.
  45. Yet we aren't a lot of wear pajama pants.
  46. This is a quote from my Springfield local schools dress cook.
  47. The survey results from Luther College High School's dress code.
  48. Survey results confirmed that dress codes are inconsistent from
  49. 39% and reasons for dress codes are unclear 19%.
  50. Dress codes are one to buy so many people such as administrators,
  51. but do they really help the school run?
  52. My second point is dress codes aren't important in a learning environment,
  53. dress codes don't affect how much knowledge you can retain.
  54. And the article here's what's wrong with high
  55. school dress codes written by Michelle riddle.
  56. She explains that when you wear
  57. what you wear to school doesn't affect customer.
  58. You are an example of this would be somebody dressing
  59. up on monday and nice clothes and a nice outfit,
  60. nice clothing and on Tuesday they wear sweatpants and a baggy shirt.
  61. Neither of these clothing options affected their learning capacity.
  62. Maybe they even did well more better on the day that they were wearing a baggy shirt.
  63. If teachers can wear almost anything, why can't students?
  64. Ever since COVID-19 has had us.
  65. My school personally personally has relaxed on the
  66. dress code for everyone involved the years before,
  67. this wasn't heard of
  68. the students had a strict dress code while
  69. the teachers could wear whatever they wanted.
  70. It simply wasn't fair.
  71. The Article five things,
  72. dress codes can and can't do when it comes to dress codes speaks about
  73. how wearing what you want should be
  74. allowed for anyone and everyone including staff,
  75. right?
  76. While dress codes aren't needed to be able to learn and gain knowledge,
  77. the ones that are pushed onto students can be unfair.
  78. My 3rd point is, dress codes are unfair and sexist.
  79. Dress codes are mainly for girls.
  80. And the article is your school dress code biased against girls,
  81. probably by Kyle Kaminski talks about how sexist our school systems
  82. can be forcing girls to dress in a specific way.
  83. But looking the other direction, when it comes to boys
  84. in my everyday life since I was a child,
  85. I have been taught to dress and act a certain way
  86. yet, the boys had never seemed to have this instruction,
  87. The only dress code I have ever seen implemented for a boy
  88. throughout all of my years of high school would be tuck in
  89. their shirt where a belt or make sure their underwear isn't showing.
  90. On the other hand, dress codes can be extreme for either gender.
  91. This article is a protest code article written by bonneville Academy.
  92. They're describing that dress codes are extremely helpful
  93. to distractions and that it limits violence.
  94. I do not understand where any of this information is coming from.
  95. If anything,
  96. I believe it limits it limits the Children's creativity
  97. and will cause them to act out more.
  98. But that was also a charter school. Talking not a public school.
  99. When I went to a charter school growing up,
  100. I was only allowed to wear plaid skirts and dresses with the polo shirt.
  101. I'm still not sure why this was a requirement, but it wasn't a public school. So
  102. they had
  103. right of way over what I wore.
  104. My parents were paying for me to go there and get my education
  105. the exact with they planned all the way down to my appearance.
  106. Dress codes are unnecessary and don't affect
  107. the lives the way that we think they do.
  108. They do more harm than good.
  109. In conclusion,
  110. dress codes aren't important for the function of everyday school life.
  111. Dress codes imposed a negative view on
  112. people in their ways of expressing themselves.
  113. Dress codes shouldn't be mandatory in public schools.
  114. And finally, dress codes are sexist and unnecessary
  115. and you can do anything you want to and any type of clothing you'd like.
  116. Yeah
