Sexist language targeting female students has been struck from the dress code of Tucson’s largest school district.

The change was welcomed by a group of six students from Tucson High’s Human Rights Club, who are sick of teen girls being on the receiving end of the dress code’s sexist double standard, they told the TUSD Governing Board last Tuesday.

“The adults who are supposed to keep us safe need to stop sexualizing the female body,” Human Rights Club member Cecilia Alfie told the board and Tucson Unified Superintendent Gabriel Trujillo.

The new code differs from the former in a few ways. Most notably, it has scrapped language saying articles of clothing usually worn by female-identifying people — like tube tops, spaghetti straps or short skirts — violate the dress code.

Under the new code, clothing must do two things to be compliant: it must cover a student’s chest and torso, buttocks when standing or sitting and any undergarments, and it can’t be see-through.

The updated code also bars students from wearing clothing emblazoned with images, symbols, slogans, words or phrases that are considered hate speech, homophobic, “religiously or racially discriminatory” or that perpetuate “gender-based discrimination or defamation.”
