Students have a right to express themselves how they want to, and often times this is done through style including clothes, sneakers, hair and so on. Schools are the right venue to adDRESS this problem because they're relatable. Every kid has gone to school and its widely known as a problematic circumstance in the education system for quite some time now.]]> 2021-02-08 02:07:06 UTC https://padlet.com/terynfield/2hzg1np9grr961c0/wish/1174824015 terynfield https://padlet.com/terynfield/2hzg1np9grr961c0/wish/1221907941 This video made me realize that the problem with school dress codes are not just peoples opinions stating that it is right or wrong but it violates students Constitutional rights by prohibiting free speech. In 1969 a Supreme Court case, "Tinker v. Des Moines Independent School District" took place after Mary Beth Tinker wore an arm band rounder arm that represented her opposition to the Vietnam War. She was dress coded for this. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Tinker stating, "Students do not shed their Constitutional rights at the schoolhouse gate."]]> 2021-02-20 19:07:21 UTC https://padlet.com/terynfield/2hzg1np9grr961c0/wish/1221907941 terynfield https://padlet.com/terynfield/2hzg1np9grr961c0/wish/1221934048 This article shocked me. In Texas last year, a 17 year old homosexual male was suspended from his public school for wearing fingernail polish. Especially in the year 2020, when this incident took place I'd never imagine that this sort of thing would happen in today's society. Also it's one thing that there is a punishment although I think any punishment at all for this is absurd; but the kid is suspended from going to school for days... this is irresponsible and ignorant doing by those faculty in charge at the school.]]> 2021-02-20 19:26:57 UTC https://padlet.com/terynfield/2hzg1np9grr961c0/wish/1221934048 terynfield https://padlet.com/terynfield/2hzg1np9grr961c0/wish/1224632340 When I first saw this middle schools' dress code policy from 2020, I thought it must be a private school.. not the case. This public school mandates some outrageous demands for its young learners including no hoodies and no leggings! I was intrigued to learn that this school district is also in the state of Texas; as was the finger nail polish dilemma I mentioned in the square previous. It leads me to believe southern states to be more strict regarding their dress code policies.]]> 2021-02-22 03:20:04 UTC https://padlet.com/terynfield/2hzg1np9grr961c0/wish/1224632340 terynfield https://padlet.com/terynfield/2hzg1np9grr961c0/wish/1224732510 I've gone through all the policies on SUNY Cortland's website and nowhere could I find a dress code policy. I find it interesting that all lower level education up until college have dress codes in place but as soon as we graduate high school they are nowhere to be found. Obviously we are held at a higher standard at college and with that comes more freedom and responsibly however I didn't;t think dress codes would disappear all together. I'm sure some more conservative colleges have something in place ]]> 2021-02-22 04:22:51 UTC https://padlet.com/terynfield/2hzg1np9grr961c0/wish/1224732510
