Shoulder-Baring Yearbook Photo Reignites Debate on High School Dress Codes
Shoulder-baring yearbook photo reignites debate on high school dress codes By Vikki Ortiz Healy and Kate Thayer, Chicago Tribune on 08.14.17 Word Count 1,197 Level MAX The photo studio that took her senior portraits told Maine South High School student Grace Goble, 17, that this sweater wasn't appropriate. In response, she launched a petition over the school's dress code. Photo by: John J. Kim/Chicago Tribune/TNS PARK RIDGE, Illinois — A 17-year-old Park Ridge girl who was told her senior portrait was not appropriate for the yearbook because she wore an off-the-shoulder sweater has reignited ongoing debate about school dress codes and how they should best be applied. “I was just frustrated that this sort of thing is an issue,” said Grace Goble, who fired off a complaint to administrators at Maine South High School and started an online petition seeking to change the rules. She said the photo studio that took the shots of her wearing the shoulder- baring yellow top in June later decided that the outfit choice “was not allowed.” “I have spent a good majority of my life wondering why exactly women’s shoulders are so offensive,” Goble wrote in the petition on Change.org. “It is ridiculous that young women aren’t allowed to wear the clothing that they wish to wear simply because it could possibly distract someone.” This article is available at 5 reading levels at https://newsela.com. 1 Within hours of posting her petition, Goble — who argued that Maine South’s off-the-shoulder policy unfairly targeted female more than male students — collected more than 2,000 signatures in support of changing the high school’s dress code.
