We are girls from grades 6-8.
The sexualisation of our bodies is not our problem. It is unfair to make us change because boys can't help themselves.
You can not force us to change, we are living people. Not objects. By forcing us to change, you are implying that my clothing is more important than my education, and that I am simply a distraction.
We deserve to show our individuality through our clothing
You are objectifying females and stating that boys simply can't control themselves. This is completely sexist and unfair. You are taking away my rights and treating me as an object.
I will wear my dress or shorts if it's warm out.
If it's cold, I'll wear my yoga pants or leggings.
My clothing is my choice, and you can not take that right away from me
If my parents give me approval on my outfit, that should be enough.

The petition has now crossed the threshold of two hundred and fifty signatures. This level of engagement confirms that our community expects a dress code grounded in fairness and respect for students. I am preparing to present these names to the administration to initiate a formal conversation regarding these policies.

The whole point of going to school is for education but all the school seems to focus on is pulling us out from our education. It is more distracting to be pulled out vs showing a bra strap. It is just part of what we wear and we can’t choose that.
I'm a parent. Why can't my daughter wear leggings to school? Shorts? (They seriously don't make many shorts for girls the length you require)
im sorry, did you say I could only wear yoga pants if they have zippers and pockets? HAVE YOU EVER EVEN SEEN THOSE? No! Because they don't exist!
One of our rights as students is freedom of cloth, and by not letting us wear what we prefer and making us change because our skirt is 1/2 an inch too shortis completely ridiculous,. If it's hot outside we should be allowed to wear shorts! it doesn't feel good to be pulled out of class and be told that what your wearing isn't right.....
I approve what my child wears, but I don't approve the dresscode. It's ridiculous. Girls at this age need to discover themselves, and by having a dresscode it is making it hard. I think the dresscode needs to change.
Yes!!! So glad this exists
I am in 6th grade and i am a girl at white hill I think that girls can wear whatever they want. It's not our fault that boys can't control themselves and plus we have a right to wear cloths right you can't assume that we wear a long sleeve shirt on the hottest day of the year we want to wear shorts and tank tops and if we want to we should be able to

Trying to use girls as a prop so that boys don't get distracted, is so disrespectful . Us as girls want to feel confident in our body's, not shameful when we get told to change our outfits.
