Social Injustice and Cultural Identifiers Research Rough Draft Megan Morris Grand Canyon University 330: EDU Willie Hintze 03/10/2024 1

The school dress code system is outdated and insufficiently enforced for both genders. Female students are more likely than male students to be disciplined for dress code infractions, despite the perception that their bodies are distracting to males. Female kids are objectified from the outset of school. Not only by guys but also by society and the educational system. Female students lose valuable class time when sent to the office for small violations, whereas male students do not face the same repercussions. This can negatively impact female mental health and self-esteem at an early age. Female students are more often disciplined for dress code infractions than male students, despite the perception that their bodies are distracting to males and should be kept hidden at school. Th female students are objectified from the minute they enter school. Female students miss out on class time due to minor infractions, while male students are not sent to the office for similar reasons. This leads to a decline in mental health and self-love in females at a young age, as the consequences are not equal for all genders. I picked dress code uniformity in schools as my cultural identification. I picked this topic to prevent young children from being informed that their body is a visual nuisance to the opposing gender's learning experience. Students' learning should not be affected by their clothing choices. Comfortable clothing is essential for students who must sit for extended periods of time in class. Wearing a tank top is harmless for both boys and girls. This applies to any apparel that covers intimate bodily parts. Students should be able to dress comfortably without being judged for it. In my studies and daily life, I've seen that boys/men are punished less for clothing code offenses than girls/women. For instance, in high school, guys wear distressed jeans more than women. I've seen more women, including myself, dispatched to the office than males. Despite all genders wearing the same attire, there was a violation. This is where I establish uniformity in 2

cultural identification. Clothing codes should remain in place. Dress regulations should be re- evaluated to ensure consistency among genders in the school. The clothing code should apply to teachers, staff, and students alike. Tinker v. Des Moines Independent School District took place in 1969. Many high school students wore black armbands with swords to school to protest the Vietnam War (FindLaw, 2016). In 1995, Bivens by Green vs. Albuquerque Public Schools happened. Prohibited male students from wearing sagging pants because it was not acceptable (Bivens by Green V. Albuquerque Public Schools, No. CIV 94-038 SC-LFG., n.d.) In 1998, Harper vs. Blockbuster Entertainment happened. Male employees at Blockbuster were compelled to keep their hair short, whereas women were not affected by this new restriction. (Harper V. Blockbuster Entertainment Corp., No. 97-4364, n.d.) The case of Jacobs vs. Clark County School District happened in 2008. Jacobs and her parents argued that the obligatory clothing code violated their first amendment right to display their religion. (FindLaw, n.d.). The dress code is more disruptive for the individuals punished than for the rest of the class. If a student is taken to the office, home, or restroom to change their attire, they miss out on learning opportunities. As a result, the student is currently absent from class and experiencing a disruption in their education. Additionally, the students around the chastised kid may get distracted after witnessing someone being taken to the office or out of the classroom. However, it becomes a long-drawn-out topic that students will discuss afterward and think about during the class, as they are more engaged in the drama than the subject itself. A clothing code can reduce bullying and self-consciousness among kids. Here are some arguments in favor of implementing one. This approach is only effective if the clothing code is severe enough to prevent students from standing out and being bullied. Having a stringent 3

clothing code can help maintain classroom harmony by prohibiting the use of profane language or offensive images. There should be consistency. Children with dress code breaches should be handled similarly. If girls can't wear pants with holes, neither can males. Girls cannot wear obscene graphic tees, just as boys cannot. Students should be able to freely express their religion, race, or cultural heritage. However, students should maintain modesty in public and in school. Some reasons against clothing codes include how they negatively impact students' self- expression and uniqueness. This is something I don't particularly enjoy. I believe students should have the right to express themselves without using words. Wearing clothes to express oneself is acceptable if suitable, especially in a non-verbal setting. Schools should provide kids with a safe, welcoming, and exciting learning environment. I also believe that diversity in the classroom can help students focus better since they are not shut off in so many areas. This calms them down and increases their receptiveness. Maintaining a uniform dress code and treating all kids equally promotes a positive and harmonious environment. This means that students have one less thing to worry about. They plan their morning outfits based on what they are not permitted to wear. While uniforms are not necessary, it is possible to establish guidelines for appropriate dress at school. As a prospective teacher, I see a classroom container with a variety of clothing options for students to wear at school. Invest in something simple to ensure students have adequate coverage and avoid missing school. This eliminates the need to send students to the principal's office to improve their behavior. If students have their clothing or I have some in the classroom, they may swiftly change and return to class. Having a clothing code influences my student's motivation to study and pay attention, rather than my teaching style. As an educator, my ultimate objective is to 4

always maintain student engagement and attentiveness. This becomes more difficult to do if we are always arguing with our kids. Finally, society claims that the feminine body distracts the male population. However, female students are disciplined more than male students. This creates discrepancies in rule systems. In certain educational systems, female students are taught to be embarrassed of their bodily parts, whereas male students are not punished for staring at female students. Female and minority students waste valuable class time when they are sent to the office for discriminatory reasons. These uneven repercussions result in mental health issues and a lack of self-love or self- confidence in individuals who are impacted from a young age. The school dress code system should be revised to reflect modern standards or remain unchanged but equally enforced for both genders. 5
