One student’s homecoming woes are indicative of a larger issue at some Kentucky schools: a dress code that stringently polices girls', but not boys', clothing.
Finding a knee-length dress for her 5-foot-8 daughterThey bounced through at least five stores, finding only one dress that met the length requirement. It was in the misses section, not the juniors section, and Vittitoe would have to pay extra to have it altered to fit her daughter, then a freshman.
The"mid-thigh" requirement would extend to events like homecoming, reducing a 2-inch above-the-knee rule that caused late September's controversy.A school's site-based decision-making council, which includes parents, teachers and an administrator, selects dress codes in Jefferson County Public Schools. Those codes range from nonexistent to providing specific sleeve and pant lengths to a clear uniform.
More than half of Eastern's hundreds of dress code violations, for example, went to its female students. And black students received 52% of the citations, despite making up less than a quarter of Eastern's student body.
