At the moment I ask myself, why are these schools dictating these kids hairstyles? Why can’t a boy dye his hair pink or have his hair over his collar, there is no real reason for this. You should not be able to dictate these different hairstyles for the exact reason that we have our amendments and laws that give us the freedom we rightly deserve. Also, there are some boys who might have their hair long and you call that a violation, there is nothing wrong with a boy having his hair long. You, judging someone with long hair is like judging someone with curly hair, they both are just natural hairstyles. You, school officials should not be able to dictate these normal hairstyles. We have our rightly given amendments like the first which gives …show more content…
Students are crossing the line with these crazy hairstyles. Students can do so many different things in order to represent culture or a cause. Different and unusual things are meant to be judged, they serve no us. Different hairstyles don’t benefit the world at all. Then again what if they want to represent it by hairstyles, you can’t say no. From what I know, a lot of monks have gone bald, that’s just how it works whether you like it or not. Students have their own freedom and they can use it how they want. Some hairstyles can be of some use because they might get a point across like the point of breast cancer, a boy dyed his hair pink in order to support breast cancer, this way more people will say that and maybe follow him. In conclusion, different hairstyles should not be dictated by school officials. We have our rights and amendments to allow us to have these hairstyles. Culture and religion might also decide what you wear and what you do, by telling them no you might be stepping on their culture. Different hairstyles shouldn’t be judged just like a lot of things in the
“...the state, in the form of the public school system, cannot legally tell students what to wear..” (Source 1). When the district school board is determining what students can and cannot wear it violates the First Amendment. Taking away a person’s right is not only is illegal but wrong. Students maintain a certain amount constitutional rights when they are in school, their decision about what they wear is protected as well.
How many times have you ever wanted to just throw a hat on top of your hair because you woke up late and did not want to deal with it? How often do you see an amazing piece of headgear and you thought wow I would so wear that but I can't wear it at school? How often do you think if i'm at school all day everyday doing all this work why can't you just wear what you want so you can put the final touch on this look. Well I think students should be able to wear a hat ,because they do all this work or if they have something embarrassing like hair or whatnot and even could improve self esteem and relations with others.
Do you get to wear hats in school? There has been a specific dress code for some time now on if students can wear hats and hoods in school. Students should be able to wear their own personal hats and hoods to school because it lets them express their feelings, the barber may mess up their hair, or it's just a complete outfit for some people.
Citizens in America are born with a various amount of rights. One of these rights include the freedom of speech and expression. However, school administrators have the ability to restrict a student’s expression. The Supreme Court Cases ‘Bethel School District v. Fraser’ and ‘Frederick V. Morse’ gave schools the right for the administrators to discipline children when they see fit. Students should be able to express themselves in any way without fearing that their school administrators will discipline
There is a law called “Freedom of Speech,” also known as “Freedom of Expression”, yet people can still get suspended in schools just for something as simple as dying their hair. In the article “Her Hair Became a Civil Rights Issue”, a girl named Brianna Moore earned the privilege of dying her hair after she picked her grades up. Her parents allowed her to do this. Her father helped her turn her hair into a bright pink. When she went to school the next day, she was immediately sent home. The dress code at her school states that students’ hair must be a natural color. There is a law allowing you to express yourself, but at least to a point at school. Dying hair is not like wearing super short shorts to school. This should be an exception. Both
People all around the world wear hats they are very popular. Hats are not just for keeping sun out of your eyes. There also a very stylish trend at the moment. Several years ago hats were allowed in schools but to this day many schools do not allow them. Students should be able to wear hats in school because they don't harm anyone, several people enjoy wearing them, and there is no real reason why we can't wear hats in school.
All in all hats should be allowed in school not just for a fashion accessory, but for how cold it is in school. We should be comfortable in are learning environment. I have had chats with many principles on this topic and they had no argument. I feel that the rule should change because times have changed and we can handle the responsibility of wearing a
It’s that time of the year again and not the most wonderful time (of the year) at that. Say goodbye to summer vacation because back-to-school “fever” has striked again. Subscription boxes are flooded with back-to-school diy and hack videos from our favorite content creators. With the start of a new school year come new classes, friends, school supplies, … so why not new hairstyles?
The rule should be changed to “The students will be allowed to wear hats indoors at school as long as it does not have a bill that covers your face/eyes or a teacher finds it distracting or inappropriate. If the hat does result in any of those topics the student will be asked to take off the hat/ headwear.” This new rule is acceptable for everyone because the students are allowed to wear the headwear that they want to feel needed to wear under some circumstances. Also teachers have a say to where if they find the hat a distraction/ inappropriate the may tell the student to remove the headwear in their
Imagine picking up your child from school to find her in tears. Through her sobs she tells you that her day was spent in In-School-Suspension (ISS) for refusing to remove her head scarf, part of your family’s religious attire; I’m sure that you would be outraged. Your child’s uniform policy does not allow for any type of head gear to be worn, which left her stuck outside of the classroom and in ISS. In the words of the United States Department of Education, “A school uniform policy must accommodate students whose religious beliefs are substantially burdened by a uniform requirement (“Manual on School Uniforms”), this mandate is distributed to all public schools that want to implement or are currently utilizing a uniform policy. What the school did to your child is considered a violation of her religious rights under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. A school district in North Carolina came to an out-of-court settlement after being slapped with a lawsuit due to the fact that they denied any exemptions from the uniform policy based on religion. Our great country was founded on the basis of Freedom of Religion, so why should we allow for it to be taken away because of a school board’s decision to adopt a uniform policy that does
Have you ever woke up and just decided that you don't wanna get ready or do your hair for school? Wouldn't it just be easier to throw on a hat and go. The main reason that they don't let us wear hats already in school is because of the kids being immature while wearing hats. That observation is based off the one day per year that they encourage us to wear crazy hats and then it gets out of hand. Now if they would allow us to wear normal ballcaps any day of the week, it would more than likely be fine. Although hats can be distracting, students should be allowed to wear hats in school because they allow you to express yourself, saves you time getting ready, and it protects your hair from the weather.
Schools have many rules and regulations, and most are justified and necessary, but regulating how students style their hair, or what tattoos and piercings they can have, is unnecessary, oppressive, and discriminative. Why do schools feel the need to give students no choice on how they present their own bodies? A uniform is fine - it shows the student is a part of the school as a whole, and it represents their connection to the place they where they spend 40% of their waking week, but their hair and bodies are all these students have left to express themselves, and even that is regulated. In this essay I will show you why schools should not regulate hair, piercings and tattoos.
I 100% disagree with this topic and the reason will be explained soon. Many schools suck as Carranballac college force the students to wear school uniform as it makes the school look more professional and I do not disagree with the choice that the school has made. School around the world allow their students wear casual.
As an educator, it is extremely important to know educational policies. On top of the knowledge, it is also imperative to respect the rights granted to students in the democratic society. Attached above is an article, published by the first amendment center, regarding how the first amendment is employed within public schools. The first topic in the article is titled speaking out in school. Here I learned that the school cannot limit the student’s freedom of speech, unless it is hindering the environment to learn, and even then, there is a lot of grey area. Here the school must be able to provide substantial evidence that the student’s writing, speech, or expression would cause great disruption. This also ties directly into school dress code and uniforms required by the school corporation. Students, in many
They say we are Americans, but yet they take away our freedoms. The school dress code is strict and the staff are extremely over suspicious of gang related activity, that basically makes no sense whatsoever. The fact that unnatural hair dye is banned is limiting student’s rights. Also, the banning of hats outside is simply absurd. Now, Mr. Spears may not have these problems, but bad hair days suck, and hats are an easy solution for that.
