Speaking Out
It turns out that many students are really not okay with the way things are being handled. When Emma Stein was a freshman at Evanston Township High School, she was cited for violating her school’s dress code. She was told her dress was too short and was forced to wear sweatpants for the rest of the day. She knew that her schools’ antiquated dress code needed to be changed.
Recalling The Event
Although Stein did not receive any punishment for breaking the dress code, she still felt negatively impacted by the situation. “It added a level of insecurity to this already stressful time,” she said. For that reason, Emma decided to do something about it.
