I signed this petition, because this dress code is more towards girls, sexist. To be clear the problem with this is not that there are guidelines for dress codes. We have guidelines for every but guidelines themselves aren't the problem. The problem is when these codes target girls specifically, and blames them for "distracting" boys. The dress code tells girls that they are not entitled to human decency and respect if her skin is showing. It also teaches boys that it is acceptable to disrespect girls and misbehave if they can see her skin. Yes I understand girls shouldn't wear short shorts to school but there's a sign of sexism and every girl can see it.
