The following article was in the September issue of The Tiger Print. Read the article (even if you already have) and respond to it below. What do you think? Do you agree? Disagree? Consider all perspectives of the article while you respond.

I agree with this article 100%. And I'm really glad someone finally said it. I find dress codes ridiculous and insulting. Dress codes state that a male's education is not only more important than a females but that girls are responsible for a the guy's education. The fact that administration is embarrassing girls, lowering their self esteem, and making everyone uncomfortable just so guys can focus is despicable. I read an article similar to this one last night and it stated that if girls were not treated as overly-sexualized objects we would not have this problem. I believe girls should be able to wear whatever they want, because guys can. Males and Females should be treated in equal ways and the education of both genders should be valued in the same way. I could go on about this forever. But this article should be shown to every woman in every school and every person in administration. Maybe then, people would understand.
