Dress-code issues are explored in this Research Roundup, and guidance is offered to principals seeking to maintain a positive school climate. In "Do School Uniforms Fit?" Kerry White discusses arguments for and against school uniforms and summarizes the state of research in this area. Deborah Elder evaluates the implementation and effects of a mandatory uniform policy at two middle schools in "Evaluation of School Uniform Policy at John Adams and Truman Middle Schools for Albuquerque Public Schools." charly_murphy https://padlet.com/charly_murphy/cj22kw4nqayq/wish/197799230 Lumsden, Linda|Miller Gabriel. “Dress Codes and Uniforms.” Research Roundup, National Association of Elementary School Principals, 1615 Duke St., Alexandria, VA 22314-3483 ($2.50 Prepaid; Quantity Discounts).

For example, students who wear clothing that follows the latest fashion trend – such as oversized shirts and slouchy jeans for boys, or short skirts and mid-drift cut-out shirts on girls – or clothing that supports a particular sports team, religion, or political point of view, may be prohibited in dress code policies if the student’s choice in clothing draws attention away from the school’s learning environment.Therefore, limits on dress codes have including the following:Limits on ‘gang-related’ clothing, sometimes described as over-sized clothing and other clothing meant to show affiliation with a certain gang or group, such as certain colors, logos, brand names, or arrangementBan on suggestively-themed T-shirts, such as Marilyn Manson t-shirtsRequirement to wear school colors onlyLimits on skirt, shirt, and pant lengthBan on clothing that depicts lewd, sexually explicit, or idecent drug useSeasonal closthing restriction, such as limits on midriffs and lower backs not being exposed in hot weather"Baggy pants" restriction prohibiting students from wearing clothin that exposes underwear or body parts in a way that is indecent or vulgarFreedom of Religion IssuesIn contrast to limits on dress as a means to providing a safe learning environment, school dress codes, in most cases, cannot be used to prevent students from expressing their religion beliefs. Both the Constitution and most state laws protect students’ rights to wear religious attire inool school, such as the wearing of a turban, yarmulke, or head scarf. charly_murphy https://padlet.com/charly_murphy/cj22kw4nqayq/wish/198241491 “School Dress Codes.” Findlaw, education.findlaw.com/student-rights/school-dress-codes.html.

All the rules, which prohibit things like violent imagery and hate speech, not tank tops and ripped jeans, apply to “students,” not boys or girls. And those “distractions?” Students and staff are responsible for managing their own personal “distractions,” regardless of what anybody else is wearing. charly_murphy https://padlet.com/charly_murphy/cj22kw4nqayq/wish/198245924 McCombs, Emily. “Sexist School Dress Codes Are A Problem, And Oregon May Have The Answer.” The Huffington Post, TheHuffingtonPost.com, June 2017, www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/sexist-school-dress-codes-and-the-oregon-now-model_us_59a6cd7ee4b00795c2a318e5.

A June 2016 Equal Employment Opportunity Commission report revealed that 3 out of 4 targets of harassment never come forward because they fear they won’t be believed, no action will be taken or, worse, they will face social or professional retaliation. Those fears are reasonable considering that more than 40 percent who do report say that they have been penalized for doing so. charly_murphy https://padlet.com/charly_murphy/cj22kw4nqayq/wish/199059438 Chemaly, Soraya. “Perspective | What School Dress Codes Have to Do with Harvey Weinstein.” The Washington Post, WP Company, 2017, www.washingtonpost.com/news/parenting/wp/2017/10/20/what-school-dress-codes-have-to-do-with-harvey-weinstein/?utm_term=.5d40ce64e8ae.
