Search Results: showing they care

For me, personally, my school dress code is so sexist it's not even funny. It's a rather low standard school in Orlando, so you shouldn't expect much, but it's still ridiculous.

For guys, they literally just don't give a fuck. Saggy pants, tank tops cut deep down the side that reveal their whole torso, shorts that go all the way to their upper-thighs... you name it, the administrators just don't care.

But for girls... it's a whole other story. First of all, nothing they wear can be above the knee, not even by 1 inch, they must be below the knee or else they get dress coded. Even if it's below the knee when standing and above the knee when sitting, if it goes above the knee at any point, it's not allowed. Second, they can't show their shoulders. Third, collarbones and cleavage must be hidden completely. Fourth, no back or stomach showing at any point. And so on and so forth.

It's quite ridiculous, and several girls at my school have protested, but it never worked, so they just gave up.

Also, keep in mind, this is Florida, and several of the classrooms have ACs that aren't working, so... you can't blame the girls for being frustrated/angry.

I don't think most schools have it as bad as mine, but dress code is a rather controversial thing as a whole for a reason.
