Social media blurs lines between private and work life
December 31, 2007
The creation of a school dress code requires the often delicate balance between the right to freely express oneself and the need for school environments to be respectful and appropriate, says education lawyer Sheila MacKinnon.
One Newfoundland and Labrador school’s dress code recently prompted protests, reports the CBC, as students at Beaconsfield Junior High in St. John's felt the policy was “sexist and unfair.”
Last year, another Newfoundland and Labrador school, Menihek High School in Labrador City, also dealt with dress code controversy after about 30 students were sent home because of attire deemed to have violated the code — including wearing sleeveless shirts and having bra straps exposed, says the CBC.
