Public School Dress Code

To:  Board of Education

I am a student in high school and I am witnessing some unfair acts. I recently heard that a public junior high school is adopting a dress code. This should not be allowed to happen. A letter was sent home to the students and parents telling them that they MUST wear khakis and polo shirts. No jeans or t-shirts, etc. are allowed to be worn to school!!
I went from store to store looking at the prices of these polo shirts and they cost good money!! Who the hell wants to pay for a fancy shirt to go to school?! This is not right. If a child does not have that much money to spare on clothing for the dress code they will most likely punish him/her somehow. Why should a child be punished for not having the money to buy the required clothing? This can ruin the education of a child just because they don't have the money.
And another thing: IT'S A PUBLIC SCHOOL!!! Why should everyone wear the same clothing? It relinquishes their right to say who they are and express their personality. Dressing to express your self is classified as a freedom of speech. Taking away the right of speech is a violation of the Bill of Rights, especially since it’s in a public school!!
So please take the time to sign this petition against having dress codes in public schools. If you hesitate to sign this petition, than your school or children’s school will adopt the dress code. Thank you for taking your time to read this. Please call the board of education in your area and tell them not to allow this unfair act. Thank you.

Sincerely,
