While the discussion began in Ypsilanti Public Schools, people outside of school walls are also asking the same question: How far can you go too far when it comes to dress code?

Tavon Evans is one of the parents who had a lot of questions after her child’s school updated the dress code.

“It should be the parents’ responsibility – You should know: “Don’t go outside like that”, you know,” Tavon said.

Outside of school, parents disagree about what students are allowed to wear in class and what they are not allowed to wear.

“I think they should be able to express themselves, but they should not be allowed to embarrass themselves,” said Nicole, a parent.

It’s been a while since Cece Augustine was in school.
