Both students and staff of primary, elementary, junior and senior high school campuses have the right to be safe and secure in their persons. This means that school may include in their dress codes methods which further the goals of a learning institution and that prevents violent or abusive behavior.https://goo.gl/PKHSds]]> 2017-10-17 17:15:25 UTC https://padlet.com/samuel_mcmillan/z9bpmsk1km83/wish/197919071 samuel_mcmillan https://padlet.com/samuel_mcmillan/z9bpmsk1km83/wish/197921002 Over the years, schools have implemented student dress codes to address a wide range of issues, some of which have been quite controversial. For example, in the late 1960s and 70s, young men with long hair were sometimes physically attacked by their classmates and, as a result, many schools required boys to wear their hair cut to their ears or shorter. In the 1990s, there was a push for dress codes to prevent promotion of gang-related violence. In recent years, a desire to stop conflict over designer labels and create a more “professional” school environment resulted in dress codes and uniforms becoming more popular.“What's Fair and Unfair About Student Dress Codes?” Anti-Defamation League, goo.gl/A2GfCJ.]]> 2017-10-17 17:19:02 UTC https://padlet.com/samuel_mcmillan/z9bpmsk1km83/wish/197921002 samuel_mcmillan https://padlet.com/samuel_mcmillan/z9bpmsk1km83/wish/197923856
In almost every way, school dress codes single out girls. 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.“All Schools Should Look At This Dress Code That Finally Gets It Right.” Scary Mommy, 2017, goo.gl/aGxEtg.

People often express who they are and what they believe by what they wear. Because students maintain certain constitutional rights to free expression when they are in a public school, their decisions about their appearance are, to some extent, protected as well.STUDENTS’ RIGHTS: School Dress Codes - a "Know Your Rights" Pamphlet Circulated by The ACLU of Rhode Island., goo.gl/wkMn5f.]]> 2017-10-17 17:28:48 UTC https://padlet.com/samuel_mcmillan/z9bpmsk1km83/wish/197926906
