Charles Boehm Middle School is recognized for its kindness, character, and enthusiasm. Students at Boehm are provided with amazing teachers and outstanding activities. For what could be wrong about Boehm? The dress code. Students are being restricted to express themselves through their outfits, and they are being taken out of education for being such a “distraction” and sexualizing them to cover up or boys will not be able to learn. As a current 8th grader at Boehm, I have followed the dress code as much as I could. Yet, the school still found ways to make me feel inhuman, restricted, and foolish. The current dress code at Boehm is not allowing student express themselves, or be comfortable coming to school. I was told “you may express yourself outside of school, but not in school” by my discipline area teacher. If Boehm is truly a school of character, why take students out of their education simply because they are dressed the way the feel most comfortable?

The growth of this petition has captured the attention of local education reporters who are now requesting interviews. I am currently organizing a formal presentation of these signatures to the school administration to ensure our concerns are on the official meeting agenda.

“if it’s a distraction to boys” why don’t you teach them how to respect women instead of limiting us on clothes to wear. i think it’s ridiculous that we can’t even wear athletic clothes without being spoken to. not to mention the fact that the other middle schools barely have a present dress code

I think that it’s very hard for girls at this age to shop for things they feel confident in. The shorts being at fingertip length isn’t realistic. There are plenty of shorts I own that are completely appropriate but are not that length, for instance, girls Nike shorts.

My School is Edmond North High School and they have a dress code and ridiculous school rules, like not being able to wear hats or hoods in class
