McAnally has suddenly decided to enforce the dress code. Though it may be biased and target a certain crowd, the school has decided that it is still the best option to limit so-called distractions. Since the school decided at the end of the year to enforce the dress code, students’ clothing may have either become smaller, or they may have started to purchase new items that did not fit the initial dress code. At this day and age, it is nearly impossible to buy “appropriate clothing.” Rather than focusing on what students are wearing, schools should prioritize creating an environment where students feel comfortable, respected, and able to focus on their education. Dress codes often place unfair pressure on students, especially when they are inconsistently enforced or target specific groups. Instead of limiting self-expression, schools could work toward clearer, more inclusive policies that consider the needs and realities of all students. At the end of the day, what a student wears should not outweigh their ability to learn, grow, or succeed.
