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!)
While I agree that there should be separate dress code procedures for males and females, I must agree with the boys and wonder why there is a problem with the headbands. The concern for me is why these are now being worn. If it is simply a fashion trend, then both boys and girls should be allowed to wear them, but if they are gang related or represent some other unacceptable reason and cause a distraction or problem during the school day, then both sexes should be banned from wearing them. |

| Comments: I agree with the solution and agree with what the boys are saying. As long as the boys are permitted to have longer hair or to have something that could be held back by a headband, they should be permitted to wear them. I like how it is stated that a further investigation into the issue of headbands should be looked into, in order to make sure that there is not some other meaning to this |
