Change the KPS Dress Code
The Kalamazoo Public Schools dress code is sexist, classist, and body-shaming, and creates a hostile learning environment for the students at Loy Norrix High School. Please sign if you believe that our education should not be disrupted by faculty and administrators policing our bodies.
Why is this important?
As of recently, the faculty of Loy Norrix High School have started to send home girls wearing leggings or other "revealing" clothing. Some have even been harrassed by security guards before being sent home. Others have been humiliated or marginalized in front of their classmates. This is simply unacceptable and is unsafe to the well-being of our female student body.
Our bodies are ours, and that is not up for interpretation. We will no longer tolerate being oversexualized by the faculty and administrators; we deserve the right to wear what makes us comfortable without being harrassed or being deprived of our right to learn.
