Hey guys! So I wanted to talk about strict dress codes and how they have effected my school. Many of you may know that my school, went from an A school to a C school. I have a reason why that may have happened. From my personal experience at beach, girls are under strict dress code. Not allowing them to wear leggings, yoga pants, sweatpants, or ripped jeans. As a girl I am not comfortable wearing jeans every single day. I am not able to focus when I don't feel comfortable. Having the slightest rip in your pants can get you pulled out of class, and have you sit in indoor suspension all day. This has happened to me. Today, I wore leggings to school, right as I got to school I got stopped by the vice principle, he scolded me. He told me that I am a distraction the males. That what I am wearing is illegal. No man should tell me that my pants are "illegal". No man should even care what I wear, because it's MY choice. If I want to feel comfortable so be it. But instead I got sent to indoor suspension, this suspension will kill my grades. I have presentations and homework to be turned in, and I can't even present while I'm in CSI. But this school doesn't care al they care about is having kids be dressed in uncomfortable clothing, harming their learning. I need to put a stop to females being targeted as "sexual objects" in schools. I plead you to sign this petition if you are sick of this sexist dress code.(:

The momentum behind this is incredible. It is clear I am not the only one tired of these unfair standards.

I absolutely know the feeling Claud! Why should I be taken out of class, be deprived of learning time, and ridiculed because a boy cannot 'control' himself? We have teachers at my school make us get on our knees and measure where our skirts, shirts and dresses fall. It is absurd!
Go gf I fully support this it is sexist and criminal why cant I go to my school in leggings I spent 300 dollars on like thats a lot of money like a lot of money schools should be ashamed of theirselves
As a student in high school, I strongly agree! Not being able to wear tank tops, yoga pants/leggings, ripped jeans, hats, etc is very unfair to females. How can boys get away with pants halfway to their knees but God forbid you can see my bra strap!?
we should be able to wear whatever we want. were young girls, if youre sexualizing us then youre the problem
I think we should be comfortable as we learn. I feel that we will concentrate more and have more class time instead of being stopped for an hour for dress code every morning.
Omg! That's sucks

The uniform policy is an insult to the students' autonomy. You can't have that. Psycholigist Erik Erikson stated in studies that an adolescent who cannot express themself will be confused about their sense of self and will not be able to "know their place" in life. Ditch the uniform!
