The visualization is well done here I think, but the message seems forced if not contradictory.
For instance, in one part of the article the author criticizes subjective dress code policies saying:
>"Fifty percent of the schools we investigated state that the final determination of whether or not a student is violating the dress code will be subjective. Although we don’t have data from the schools in our dataset about the enforcement of these subjective policies, previous research can give us an idea of how these policies can be influenced by bias."
However, earlier in the article the author says of dress codes that list exactly which parts should be covered.
>At best, students receive the message that those body parts are bad, should be hidden, or are important to others. At worst, dress codes go so far as to turn whole people into a collection of inappropriate body parts to cover.
I do think being a girl in high school is much harder than being a guy. I get that - but reading this article sincerely I come away uncertain if the author would be more in favor of a uniform policy for all students or a complete abolition of dress codes entirely.
