Oregon NOW’s Purpose
Frack explained why Oregon NOW set out to lead the changes in dress codes: “There was no answer. Everybody’s got the problem, but what’s the answer? We’re a super small organization, but we thought we could do something besides saying, ‘Doesn’t this stink?’ We could write a model code, and it could be progressive, feminist, and anti-racist.”
A Positive Trend
While there are still many schools that have an outdated dress code policy in place, it seems as though there is a trend in a more open-minded direction. More and more school administrators are taking the time to research fair alternatives, and change is slowly trickling into the school systems around the country.
