Twin Falls Students Fight Dress Code

In only nine days, more than 250 students have signed a petition to change the Twin Falls School District’s new dress code. The new code requires skirts or shorts to be just above the knee rather than at mid-thigh, as the old code dictated. Twin Falls High senior Brooke Fitzgerald, who started the online petition Sept. 9, said the district should use the fingertip rule, meaning shorts and skirts cannot be higher than where one’s fingertips reach with arms hanging down. That method is more enforceable than having teachers and administrators judge what is just above the knee, she said. The school board voted in July to change the length mandate except for students in kindergarten through fifth grade, who remain under the mid-thigh rule/ Tetona Dunlap , Twin Falls Times-News.

Question: Do you think mid-thigh skirts are too high for high school girls to wear?
