"The dress code change happened after hundreds of parents signed a petition that said the current dress code does not uphold the district's values of equity, diversity and inclusion.
The updated dress code is pretty lax compared to what it was before. Students can now show bra straps and their underwear's waistband. They can also wear ripped jeans, spaghetti strap tank tops, halter tops and leggings.
According to Austin ISD, students should not be shamed or required to display their body in front of others in school.
"Shaming" includes but is not limited to:
kneeling or bending over to check attire fit
measuring straps or skirt length
asking students to account for their attire in the classroom or in hallways in front of others
calling out students in spaces, in hallways or in classrooms about perceived dress code violations in front of others; in particular, directing students to correct sagged pants that do not expose the entire undergarment or confronting students about visible bra straps since visible waistbands and straps on undergarments are permitted
accusing students of "distracting" other students with their clothing. "
