The first day of the year at Toronto public schools brought the board’s new dress code to practical reality. Some have called it the “nipples, buttocks and groin” code. Only time will tell although the code states students cannot come to school dressed in underwear as outwear. Some of the requirements are below and much information is available here.
- Must wear a top and bottom layer of clothing of opaque material.
- May wear tops that expose arms, shoulders, stomachs, midriff, neck lines, cleavage and straps but must cover the nipples.
- May wear bottoms that expose legs, thighs and hips and expose straps and waistbands, but must cover the groin and buttocks.
- May wear any headwear that does not obscure the face.
- May wear dress requirements to support a creed practices and similar human rights accommodations.
- May not wear tops that expose nipples.
- May not wear bottoms that expose the groin and buttocks.
- May not wear any headwear that obscures the face.
- May not wear undergarments as outerwear.
- May not wear anything that promotes or symbolizes drugs, alcohol, illegal activity, hate or discrimination, profanity, pornography; or that incites violence or harassment; or threatens health and safety.
