The biggest change arrives in January 2023, when a new \u0022gender\u002Dneutral, inclusive\u0022 dress code will be adopted at CECCE\u0027s 59 schools.
There is a long history of students rebelling against dress codes, with controversy over the years ranging from bans on ripped jeans to whether spaghetti strap tops are appropriate.
Sophie Labbée, a Grade 12 student who was told her shorts didn’t meet the “mid-thigh” rule, said she was fed up with the scrutiny of girls’ bodies. “All students must absolutely be treated with dignity and respect,” said Director of Education Marc Bertrand in a statement. “No student should be subject to such a check of their clothing and even less be challenged in front of their peers. The strategy employed by the school last Thursday unfortunately does not reflect these values which are very dear to the CECCE .
The new code enables students to express themselves through their clothing while developing their critical thinking skills and making use of good judgment, board chair Johanne Lacombe announced in November.Article contentIn addition, students are not allowed to wear clothing that promotes or symbolizes drugs, alcohol, illegal activity, hatred, racism or discrimination, profanity, pornography or incites violence or harassment or threatens health and safety.
Max Turmel, a student at Beatrice-Desloges, was part of a school board committee studying the dress code as part of the consultation last year.“It doesn’t sound like a dress code. It’s more like a style code. It allows you to really open up yourself with the expression of style and clothing. That was the best move ever!”Article content
