Dear Westridge, It’s Time for a New Uniform Policy
Every day, I wear baggy khaki pants, a black t-shirt, and an oversized sweatshirt. But the second I arrive on campus; I am surrounded by so called “students” who are heinously and offensively out of uniform. I see cropped t-shirts, rolled up skirts, and tank tops. The HUMANITY.
I go to the school rated #2 on Niche.com’s list of Best All-Girls High Schools in the Los Angeles Area, which makes my education rigorous and hard enough as it is. But then I must deal with exposed midriffs, knee to mid-thighs, and even bare shoulders. It is too much for one student to handle. The provocative clothes we as students wear makes me wonder: Is this a school or some kind of teenage shindig?
Personally, I can no longer stand the blatant amount of skin I see on a day-to-day basis. We live in California for Christ’s sake. If you want to be scantily clad, go to the beach. I am uncomfortable, nauseous, and ashamed.
My proposal to fix this madness? A strict uniform punishable by expulsion.
The New Uniform:
White or blue button-up shirt (Tie optional)
Black or khaki trousers (Ankle-length or longer)
Neutral-colored Sneakers (Appropriately sized; tight shoes highlighting toe definition will not be withstood)
Watch or other time piece (Modestly colored, with a band at least three fingers in width)

So please, Westridge Administration, hear my plea. Institute a new uniform based on our core values of Modesty, Professionalism, and Style, and save our school.
