Defense Department schools adopt new gender-neutral dress code

STARS AND STRIPES • May 18, 2023
Defense Department schools are set to enforce a new dress code that will apply worldwide beginning July 1.   

Students at Defense Department schools will no longer have to measure the lengths of their skirts and shorts, or leave their ball caps at home on bad hair days.

The Department of Defense Education Activity has approved a new gender-neutral student dress code that goes into effect July 1 at all 160 DODEA schools in the Pacific, Europe and Americas regions, including Puerto Rico and Cuba.

The policy doesn’t include language that focuses on one gender exclusively or single out styles of dress specific to a race or religion, said Joy Medley, a DODEA education specialist.

How much skin students may show above the knees will no longer be measured by inch counts or “the fingertip rule,” which required a hemline to extend below the fingertips with arms hanging to the sides.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
