I’m taking action in order to push for school dress codes to be less discriminatory towards students, primarily girls, in Greenwich and other neighborhoods. In 2017, over 150 students at a single Connecticut high school were suspended all at once for breaking dress code policy. Additionally, a protest involving about 60 students occurred at Greenwich High School in 2013 opposing GHS’ dress code with the ideal that “GHS body shames.” Students at GHS have experienced dress code violations based upon their physical appearance, which is a form of discrimination.By creating this petitions as a motion for students, parents, and staff within the school district to be able to create their own dress code, with input from administration, then members of my community will be able to contribute to the creation of their own personalized dress code, one which is less discriminatory. This will hopefully satisfy the need for a revised school dress code policy.

I hate how dress codes target girls. All the sudden it's the GIRLS faults for having boobs.
Yes Emma. I think people should wear trousers and polos. T-shirts are ok unless they aren't obscene. Cartoon shirts like Simpsons, Family Guy, Robot Chicken, American Dad, Futurama, and South Park t-shirts are OK unless they aren't obscene like containing swear words. I would say for important dates and events across Greenwich and Greenwich event, you shouldn't wear t-shirts. People shouldn't wear jeans which are torn because the teachers don't wear them. If the teachers don't wear them, you shouldn't wear them too.
I think we should create our own, however, there should still be some limits to what some wear because some things may just be bad.
Yes oh my Gosh. I want to be able to express myself with the clothes that I wear. I don't want my choices to be limited by the dress code. I also want to be comfortable, I want to wear spaghetti straps not because I want to show off my shoulders but because they're comfortable
Literally got sent to the office for leggings when the boys can wear gym shorts that are way shorter than my skirt. It makes zero sense and honestly just makes us feel like we are doing something wrong by just having a body.
Why are the teachers even looking at us in places they shouldn't be looking?

I think a big change needs to happen. I'm sick of being dress coded for wearing the same thing a girl with a flatter chest wears. Just because I have a bigger bust doesn't mean I should be picked and prauded for it. I was dress coded three times in one day at washington you know how crappy that makes girls feel. We all have different bodies boys and girls instead of making us cover up our bodies and making us feel self conciouss and bad about ourselves we should express the differences in people.
