Clothing as a primary means for expressing ideas for students is as primitive as clothing itself, yet schools across the country often grapple with whether to enforce strict dress code policies that may interfere with a students’ right to self-expression.

Unless it’s unevenly applied (as in schools where the dress code applies only to girls, or is enforced more stringently for some students than for others), that form of dress code seems to me to be a reasonable way of setting school apart.

In an attempt to counter violence, many public schools implement a dress code or require students to wear uniforms. The idea of uniforms even reached the halls of Congress when then-President Clinton endorsed them in his 1996 State of the Union address. After this speech, the U.S. Department of Education disseminated the Manual of School Uniforms to all 16,000 school districts in the nation. The manual stated potential benefits, such as decreasing violence and theft, preventing students from wearing gang-related colors to school, instilling student discipline, helping to resist peer pressure, helping students concentrate on academics and aiding in recognition of intruders.

They forbid short shorts and skirts, spaghetti straps and tanks tops and form-fitting clothes like leggings and yoga pants, telling girls in no uncertain terms that the natural shapes of their bodies are forbidden at school. In more egregious cases, they ban things like natural hairstyles, specifically targeting students of color and telling them their culture is not welcome in what’s supposed to be a safe space for learning | Link: “All Schools Should Look At This Dress Code That Finally Gets It Right.” Scary Mommy, 2017, goo.gl/aGxEtg]]> 2017-10-17 17:36:32 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_dopp/rp7bms5wp8j6/wish/197931798
