The administration reversed the dress code policy today. It has been a long and draining struggle but I am relieved that we finally reached this result. Keep watching to ensure the new guidelines are actually applied fairly.

Plymouth Canton Educational Park has a dress code rule about girls not being able to show their shoulders. This is teaching girls to cover up their bodies because boys cannot be expected to control themselves. How about instead, we teach boys what respect and self control is? It is never the girls fault for getting unwanted attention or actions from others, you should know what respect is. Add your name and let’s try to get this portion of the code revoked.

We just hit five hundred signatures and I am honestly exhausted by how long this fight has taken already. Seeing this many people agree proves that this policy is broken and we are not going to stop until things change.

If staff can show shoulders why can't female students? Very agrivating to have staff enforce dress code when they don't themselves.
Plus take a look at what the stores are selling for these high schoolers these days before making the dress code. I believe the dress code needs to be re-evaluated. Get with the times. How about teaching others to concentrate on academics vs shoulders or legs?
My friend went to the office for 6 hours because of the dress code. She missed 6 hours of Education. It's a shame she had to wake up at 5am just to sit in the office for 6 hours because of this rule.
I’m dressed appropriately. Sleeveless tops are usually the three finger rule and that covers the top of your shoulder. I’ve been told capped sleeves is the rule, but it’s not in the dress code description.
We can wear strapless dresses at our schools homecoming, but we can’t wear a shirt that shows a part of our shoulders? And the fact that guys can wear whatever shirt that shows their shoulders and sometimes even the chest. Talk about being fair here.
Amen

The dress code implies that a girls education is less valuable than a guys education because we have to miss our classes once being dress coded so that boys don't get distracted during their classes. Why do we still have this rule that shames girls into hiding and covering their bodies
