daily sights. Therefore, in order to achieve a less distracting workplace and help eliminate violence, Perry Meridian High School (PMHS) needs to implement a stricter dress code. Dress codes have always existed in the United States. They were especially popular throughout the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. Once the ‘80s hit, the dress code fad began to die off until the late ‘90s came around. At the beginning of 1997, three percent of public schools required school uniforms, and by the end of 2000, the

The court made the decision that schools can enforce dress and can limit student expression. Now most school boards
Dress Codes: Promoting Education or Discrimination? Canady v. Bossier Parish School Board states, “While maintenance or order and promotion of acceptable standards of classroom conduct are synonymous with ensuring an adequate education system, school officials are not given free reign to abridge students’ constitutional rights” (Johnson 2017).

Dress code is a major controversy that has been raging in public schools for decades. The first dress code law was established in 1969 by the U.S. Supreme Court.

the introduction of school dress codes in the year 1969, schools nationwide have been in constant debates with student boards on whether to implement a dress code or not.

School Dress Codes and Uniforms Should Not be Allowed “Don’t keep all your feelings sheltered- express them. Don’t ever let life shut you up”(Dr. Steve Marboli).

Dress Codes: Do They Help or Hurt? No shirts that show your shoulders. Skirts are required to go past your knees. Refrain from wearing leggings or tight pants without a skirt. These are examples of the obnoxious dress codes that certain children (mostly girls) have to live with on a daily basis, to avoid “causing distractions” in the classroom.

For many years, there has been a debate on whether or not schools and the workplace should have dress codes. There are positive and negative effects of these policies. Dress codes can in fact violate the rights and freedoms of an individual. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms states that Canadians have the freedom of religion under section 2(a).

In South Africa, natural hair is not considered acceptable in many schools despite the African population being ten times that of the white population (which makes up about 8% of the country’s demographics). 13-year-old Zulaikha Patel received discipline at several schools for wearing her hair in an afro style; she has since changed schools three times

The Dress Code of America The media, The Board of Education, The Government; All of these places hold a power over the public that they use to indoctrinate society in what they believe should be perceived as “normal”.

Student uniforms or a dress code that emulates a school uniform should be required in schools, because wearing the uniforms will lead to students attaining a higher education, less violence, and lower cost to parents.

Each year, more than 160 kids are suspended for dress code. Numerous of the suspensions were from tank tops, or leggings. Majority of the students suspended are females. Does that just seem inconvenient, or is it gender injustice? In addition to, most write ups and detentions come from dress code violations. This is a problem because most of the students are wearing comfortable clothing such as tank tops on hot days and young women wearing leggings. Students should not have to change just because
