Portland Public Schools' radical dress code, which allows almost anything, is being hailed as a model and adopted in other cities, Vox reported Thursday.

Oregon's largest school district changed its policy two years ago. As a result, students are now only required to cover the breast area, wear shoes, and cover anywhere underwear goes with the exception of the waistband.



The idea was to free teachers from policing pants lengths and strap widths and end the over-punishment of girls, hat wearers and gender-fluid kids, among others.

"School districts such as Evanston's District 202 and California's San Jose Unified have either borrowed heavily from the dress code policy or adopted it outright," Vox reported.
