The Dress Code

One of the biggest problems I've always found with Henry Clay is the dress code and the way the administration reacts to it. It seems that people are always breaking the dress code and getting away with offenses that actually have a good reason for being just that, an offense, and that the less reasonable, but more obvious, dress code regulations are the ones that are enforced more. A good 50% of the girls who wear skirts definitely break the "mid-thigh" rule we have, but how many of them get called out on it? I hardly see it happen. What makes it worse, is that that rule is in place for an understandable, practical reason. The "no hat" rule, on the other hand, I honestly just don't understand. Maybe it has something to do with hiding drugs or weapons in the hats but if there's any reasonable suspicion, would that warrant a search of the hat? Maybe it has something to do with gangs, but wouldn't it be fairly easy to spot one if a large in-group of people were wearing hats with similar designs? The dress code certainly needs some re-evaluation. Either enforce all of the rules, or get rid of the rules that aren't enforced well enough already.
