Dress Codes
And Why They Should Be Way Less Strict

This is a petition against the North Olmsted Middle School dress code. In this manuscript, multiple arguments against the dress code are stated. Before you punish me for this petition, read the First Amendment.
The school is funded by the taxpayers. That’s how teachers earn money. Many of those taxpayers who pays the teachers are parents of the students who also contribute to the salary of teachers by simply learning. So, the students are similar to customers of the education system. So, don’t you think it’s redundant to turn away your customers for something as simple as the length of their shorts? By enforcing the dress code, you are going against the Civil Rights Movement. You are …show more content…

If it’s legal in the country it’s funded by, and it’s a public place, the students can wear it. The dress code is illegal for two reasons. Yes, it is legal to tell students and employees what to wear. It is however illegal to tell students what to wear based on a certain minority they might be part of. For example, everyone knows that the gender is sexist. Almost no boys get dress coded, and many things in the dress code that aren’t allowed are exclusive to women (except for the few men who choose to wear them). Nothing in there is directed for masculine clothing.
The other reason why the dress code is illegal is pedophilia. Being a pedophile itself isn’t illegal, but doing pedophilic actions is. I know one certain employee at the North Olmsted Middle School who seeks out young girls who have shorts that are too short. Looking at a child’s pubic region is pedophilic and makes the school an unsafe …show more content…

Sexualizing a 11-14 year old’s body is wrong. Maybe the problem isn’t the kid’s clothing, maybe it’s your brain. Children wouldn’t be sexualized if perverts didn’t sexualize them. One argument I see is that many regions of the female body are ‘distracting’ and ‘sexual’ to boys. The only ‘distracted’ people are the pervert teachers looking for children dressed inappropriately. I’m not saying that all of them are, but a few of them are. I understand that some boys can be reckless, but I have never had or seen an experience where a middle school boy was bothering a middle school girl for the clothes she decided to wear that day (including outside school grounds). Thinking that young teens are (pardon for my explicit writing) sexually active is incredibly creepy. Also, why punish girls for boys’ problems? We live in a society where women have to be self conscious about what men think about their outfit. But men don’t think like that in middle school. So what exactly are you trying to prove? The majority of sexual assaults occur on private property i.e someone’s home. But the sexual assault rate is nowhere near as high at swimming pools, where everyone is revealing a ton of skin. Instead of teaching people to not get sexually assaulted, teach people to control their
