Case: Dress code
Recently, the girls in a middle school have started wearing thick black headbands to school. As part of our school dress code, bandannas are not allowed to be worn in anyway at school, however, as these were not bandannas, they were permitted. Then, boys started wearing the headbands as well. They would often share with the girls but some of them had their own headbands. Our principal made an announcement on the morning news that boys would no longer be permitted to wear these headbands and even showed an example. He also sent an email to the teachers asking them to enforce this new rule. The majority of the boys complied, but a few are wondering why girls were still allowed to wear the headbands and boys were not, suggesting that it was discrimination. How would you justify this policy to your students?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
There are articles of clothing that can be worn by a girl or a boy. For this reason both the girls and boys should be allowed to wear the headbands or not allowed to wear the headbands. In other words, if the males cannot wear the headbands, the females cannot wear the headbands. The rules should be equal and not biased.
The students normally find a loop hole for the dress code. I have witnessed many students adding to and taking away from the dress code daily by the way they dress. There should always be a very detailed description of the proper attire for school. The details would assist in making the rules lucid.

Comments: I agree. Dresscodes should not specify which gender can wear which article of clothing. Simply, "skirts must be no shorter than one inch above knee." or "No headbands thicker than one inch are to be worn at school." Rather than, "Only girls can wear skirts." or "Boys may not wear headbands."

| Comments: I think the dress codes should specify what boys can wear versus what girls can wear. Plus this sounds like a private school and they can do whatever they like with the rules to a degree of course. |
