    Annotated Bibliography: Dress Code
    How does the enforcement and punishment of dress code violations differ between the sexes?
    Many schools use humiliating and uncomfortable tactics to stop females from breaking their
    dress codes, whereas males often get to slide by with their violations.
    Murphy15, Eliza. "Student Forced to Wear 'Shame Suit' for Dress Code Violation." ABC News.
    ABC News Network, 14 Sept. 2014. Web. 21 Oct. 2015.
    This article is about a new shame suit that students who break the dress code are made
    to wear. The school calls it the dress-code violation outfit. The outfit consists of a neon-yellow tshirt with DRESS CODE VIOLATION on the front, along with red sweatpants with the same
    words down the right leg. The school says its point is to embarrass the student, so that they dont
    break dress code again. A student, named Miranda, was forced to wear this outfit. Her mother
    thinks this outfit is not about punishing the kids, but rather humiliating them. The school bullied
    her and violated her rights. The outfit is extremely harmful and doesnt teach anything. The
    public shaming of kids can effect them in multiple ways, now and later in life. This particular
    outfit also doesnt lessen the distraction, but enhances it. Even though this punishment isnt used
    everywhere, this article will still be helpful to my paper because its a good example of how
    schools discriminate and humiliate girls.

    Marty, Robin. "The Truth About School Dress Code Violations and Shaming Students as

    Cannon 2
    Punishment." The Truth About School Dress Code Violations and Shaming Students as
    Punishment. Care2, 12 Sept. 2014. Web. 21 Oct. 2015.
    .This article is not only focused on how school dress codes are constantly aimed at young
    female students and keeping them from freely expressing themselves, but also how dress codes
    follow a rigid gendered stereotype, as well. This article has many examples of how schools have
    discriminated against students expressing themselves. One example is a girl named Miranda Larkin,
    who was forced to wear the suit of shame, after violating her schools dress code. Another
    example, directed towards boys, is a young 13 year old boy, Matt, who was banned from school for
    wearing makeup. The last example is about a preschool in Florida, where a young boy was forced to
    wear a yellow dress as a punishment for talking too much. Punishing school children for not
    conforming to gender-stereotypical and modesty-based dress codes is outdated and sad.
    This article is important to my paper because schools need to make their students feel free to be
    themselves.
    Bowers, Paul. "Students Wear Scarlet Letters, Claiming Gender Bias in Dress Code Enforcement."
    Post and Courier. The Post and Courier, 29 Sept. 2015. Web. 21 Oct. 2015.
    This article is very important to my paper because it has opinions from the students, the
    parents, the teachers, and the principal. Students at Charleston County School of the Arts have been
    wearing an A on the shirts, in reference to The Scarlet Letter, to protest what they say is unfair and
    disrespectful enforcement of the schools dress code. Students believe that faculty members enforce
    dress code more strictly against girls than boys, and against heavy-set girls than smaller girls. On
    the first day of the protest, about 100 students, as well as some faculty, wore a homemade A. The
    students understand why a dress code is set in place, but think its unreasonable that its not across
    the board and that teachers make unnecessary comments. The principal agrees that they need to be
    consistent, equitable and fair to everyone.
