Clothing rules are the main point of disagreement
Evanston Township High School student Emma Stein got a citation for not following the dress code. She was forced to wear sweatpants for the rest of the day since her dress was too short. After this experience, she understood that the rules needed to be changed.
Schools around the county staged protests in 2016 against their restrictive dress codes. The protests prompted one school to revise its dress code policy.
