<p>Oh no oh NO don’t get me started on dress code. Andover, I agree with you completely there.</p>
<p>I can wrestle any pro-dress code argument to the ground, the trouble is that when last officially polled a majority of exonian students either liked it or were indifferent. Why was this? Was it perhaps because 50% of those polled were female, who find boys in ties cute (this is one of their most common justifications, not even joking)?</p>
<p>Just… don’t get me started. Kiddo: it is not ‘to each their own’ when there is an enforced standard. There would be nothing to stop dress code favor-ers from wearing their ties with no dress code, just as some still wear jackets even though those are no longer in dress code.</p>
<p>Perhaps the arugment against that will finally win out will be the socioeconomic one; that is what did away with jackets, after all, and a similar but subtler rationale applies also to shirts and ties.</p>
<p>I may come back and adress any pro-dress coders later, right now I’m typing this while travelling home on the highway from thanksgiving so I won’t upset myself by dwelling on the issue. This is the pain I get for fighting for freedom of individual expression all the time, I guess.</p>
<p>Any-ways…</p>
