    Alexis Chavez wrote a letter to the principal of Flowing Wells High School to argue that the school's dress code is unfairly stricter for girls than boys. For example, girls have been dress coded for showing their shoulders. According to sources, a good policy applies equally to all genders and does not have double standards. If revealing clothing distracts other students, those students should be moved rather than punishing the dressed students. The letter requests that the principal consider making the dress code more fair and equal for all students.

    Dresscode

    Dear Mr.Brunenkant

    I am writing in regards to the school dress code being unfair as it is far more strict for

    girls than boys. For example, girls are being dress coded for showing something as

    innocent as their shoulders. This is an infringement of student rights to be able to express

    themselves in a way that is not offensive or disruptive to the learning environment.. In

    “How to Enforce the Student Dress Code in a Fair Way”, it states that “​a good policy

    applies to everyone; there are no gender-specific rules, no double standards. If girls can’t

    wear tank tops, neither can boys; if girls can’t show collarbones, neither can boys.”

    Therefore, it is unfair to have a rule that’s held against one specific gender and not the

    other. According to “Do School Dress Codes Discriminate Against Girls?”, if a student

    is distracted by something someone else is wearing, that student could be moved to the

    other side of the classroom rather than punishing the other individual for that person’s

    distracted mind.
    So to summarize, students should not be dress coded because there are more reasonable

    options to the problem. Also, it is unfair to be more strict with girls and not boys. I hope

    you consider my research and make changes to the dress code to make it more fair.

    Sincerely,

    Alexis Chavez
