I am running for president of the dress code campaign. I believe in equality and fairness towards all individuals. Everyone should be allowed to express themselves. It would only be fair if all high schools had the same dress code. It shouldn't be too enforced. Its taking away the right for students to make their own decisions. Adults always determine students behavior as childish and demand for a more mature behavior. Well I say that its time for adults to start letting students act like adults and the only way to do that is to have students take charge of their own decisions and choices. I think its absurd we’re all at that age where we know what’s appropriate or not appropriate to wear. The dress code says that its for our own safety because they don’t want anything to happen to students, but once students are out of high school they’re on their own, might as well prepare them for when they need to take charge of their own safety. I want students to feel better about themselves, to feel more independent and in control of their lives. They should be able to express themselves, feel confident, and at the same time take charge. I have helped express this unfairness towards other local high schools so i’m quite involved. Thanks to people like me many other high schools have changed dress code. This is in the name of students free choice, right, and freedom.
