TORONTO —
Students may have been fighting against the school.
Dress code has been in place for decades, but observers say the protests are now making headlines across the country, suggesting a fundamental shift in social attitudes.
Social media allows students to share their experiences with a wider audience as well as to read similar events from further afield.
As a result, experts say, individual events are part of an ongoing global dialogue on complex issues such as freedom of expression, cultural identity and sexual consent.
According to Rebecca rabbi, a sociologist in the Department of Children and Youth Studies at the University of broad, all these topics can be linked to dress code.
According to her study, the study specifically explores the impact of the clothing rules in secondary schools, and limiting people\'s clothing sends a subtle message about what society can accept.
\"When you have a dress code, there will be a lot of things happening,\" Raby said in a telephone interview . \".
\"Dress is subjective. . .
When schools try to regulate it, they try to regulate the dress code of really different groups of people, including people of different ages, who have different norms.
They are trying to implement a specification.
\"Two recent controversies in Canada over student dress code have sent a wave of social media that eventually swept the sidelines --line world.
Earlier this month, Lauren Wiggins posted a photo of the floor on Facebook, causing a stir
The length of the sling dress made her short from her Moncton, N. B.
The reason for high school is that it creates \"sexual distraction \".

Regional School of Art.
After being told that the crop top she was wearing was too short and looked too like a sports bra, Halket mobilized dozens of classmates on social media to wear similar outfits the next day.
Rob MacKinnon, head of Halket, admitted that dress code could be a complicated issue.
Schools often set their own clothing standards to reflect the communities they serve, he said. In one area, he added, it could cause another to shrug.
But it is also the responsibility of the school to teach some basic standards of conduct, McKinnon said. \"Our (school)
\"It\'s a workplace, not a public street,\" McKinnon said . \".
\"I think, like all the workplaces, there is an understanding that we come to school without underwear.
Raby praised MacKinnon for openly discussing the issue with his students, but warned that it was not always harmless to link dress codes to social standards.
\"Just to say, \'School is a business place, \'or \'You should go to school like you go to work,\' assuming there is some sort of workplace for these people in the future,\" she said.
\"It\'s a potential story that fits the philosophy of this rape culture that girls are responsible for managing boys through their own wear, and that\'s a negative framework that men can\'t control themselves.
Raby said that it is not uncommon for teenagers to oppose the rules set by schools, but sometimes vocal resistance can be a harbinger of social change.
For example, in his 1960 s, Raby said widespread opposition to regulations banning long hair or short skirts marked a fundamental change in social attitudes.
As teenagers find new ways to get their voices heard, she feels another shift.
Steph Guthrie, a gender analyst, agrees, saying social media allows people who feel marginalized to express themselves while learning about others in the same situation.
The girls will have the opportunity to read from the CBC radio host Jian Ghomeshi scandal to the in-
Deep discussion on rape culture on university campus.
She said the information provided a context for the dress code and ultimately helped to push for global dialogue.
\"We are able to map these events better and see that they are different, but they all have some common themes,\" she said . \".
\"I think it would be helpful to draw a motion map.
