Separation of Dress and Education

Though I do believe in a dress code, for girls AND for boys, I don't think spaghetti straps should be included in the "inappropriate dress ' category. How about teaching our boys to think with their brains instead of other parts of their bodies, and respect women instead of harassing girls for what happens in a boy's mind? My daughter went to this high school and never had an issue, she dresses modestly. My son is now at this school and we have taught him RESPECT! Pick your battles, administrators, I know the way some young ladies dress crosses the line, but have some common sense!

I am more than willing to take the extra step to fight for all girls not just at my high school. This petition is the my first step not my only step.

We go to a school where we are told to stand out. Some of us do that in the way we dress. How are we supposed to stand out when we are being stripped from our identity through our clothes.

So happy that this issue is finally being brought up at VAPA. The dress codes of LAUSD are literally ridiculous. I'm sharing this on Facebook to get as many signatures as possible. Keep on keepin' on, y'all! ❤️

although im signing the petition, let me just say that getting to ur goal and getting all the signatures doesn't necessarily mean the office will pay attention to you. this isnt a fight with just the vapa administration, these dress regulations extend to all schools under lausd. it will take alot more than a petition to get their attention and i hope your willing to do that.

A couple weeks ago I was dress-coded for a V back shirt. They had me call my mom and miss a whole class period. When they made me change, I ran into my friend and had her wear it for the rest of the day. She did not get dress-coded. Even when the same staff member saw her wearing the shirt. She smiled and kept walking. This proves the staff does not treat the students equally when it comes to dress-code

Girls shouldn't be held responsible for a man's alleged "inabilty" to control himself

If boys get distracted when staring at our shoulders that is clearly their problem, until LA stops being so freaking hot we should be able continue to wear what we please to keep ourselves comfortable

The way a student dresses has nothing to do with their education. And if it does it just means that we should raise boys and girls the same.

I got dress coded probably once a week and it was really annoying. Individuality is promoted throughout vapa, but we cant dress the way we want because it's "inappropriate".

who cares if they are wearing that. Does it impact the school staffs lives?? If not then let it be. Trying to run the school like its a prison

I feel the same way at my school a lot of the girls are intelligent. The way they dress doesn't define their intellectual abilities
