New school dress code not only unfair, but ineffective

New

school dress code not only unfair, but ineffective

I realize you've

probably gotten quite a bit of these letters arguing the

proposed dress code one way or the other; but I would

just like to share my opinion with you. It's my belief,

along with many of my friends, that the proposed dress

code would be not only unfair, but ineffective.

First of all, the

sleeveless shirts girls wear have too much variation.

Some sleeveless shirts are quite tasteful and appropriate

in my opinion, while others are... well... not. But it's

not fair to the appropriate ones to have to suffer for

the inappropriate.

Secondly, the rule that

shirts must be tucked in is a little far fetched. With

all due respect, some shirts just aren't made to be

tucked in. And if I may get a little extreme, it's easier

to hide a weapon or other item with a tucked-in shirt.

Many people do not think

this new dress code is fair at all. Why should good,

honorable people have to suffer for the few that do break

the rules? In my opinion, if we want to stop school

violence, we need a different approach. Making people

tuck in their shirts isn't going to solve much of

anything.
