After a fall out with Dunbar Middle School over placing my daughter in ISS for a dress code violation (which turned out to be a mistake by the teacher- not my daughter) I sent out a mass email to our community complaining about the dress code.
The response from the community was overwhelming. Stories of how hundreds of our children had been pulled away from their lessons to sit alone and not be educated because of their choice of clothing. There were multiple stories of High School Students dropping out of school because of the dress code.
These children should be allowed to learn in school. We as a community want the school uniforms to be stopped. Not only is it causing such problems for countless families, it is violating our childrens creativity.
I believe that our children should be allowed to express themselves through their "own style" as long as it is not offensive or distracting to others.
We, the undersigned, call for Dickinson ISD to abolish the school uniforms mandatory on all DISD campuses. We ask that a new dress code be inforced.
We agree that the children should not be allowed to be offensive or distracting to others, however they should be allowed to express themselves and never again be pulled away from their lessons because of something as ridiculas as whether or not there is a stripe on their collar.
We feel that our childrens choice of clothing for the day in no way should govern whether or not DISD chooses to educate them.
