No shirt, no shoes, no class

LBCC is a school rich with student diversity. Every student contributes a different style to the school making it more colorful and multi-factious.

Each student has the opportunity to express oneself as they please. Many identify themselves with the fad they express. Without the variety we all possess on campus, the school just might be boring. The person and there style is what gives that extra touch we need on campus that makes our school glow.

As of now LBCC does not possess a dress code prohibiting student's freedom of fashion on campus. Students are able to dress freely without having a consequence. But would a dress code be needed for LBCC? Is the way students are dressing prohibiting them from learning?

The truth is we don't think it matters. It doesn't seem to be a big issue as long as it does not offend other students. The clothing does not make the student. We do not see how a fashion can affect a student's academic capacity.

The capacity is within the student and there should not be any other factor that a student might be critiqued by. We should all be proud that LBCC does not have such standards that prohibit us from our expression, as some of us recall the uniform look some of us adopted in elementary making us feel imprisoned and just simply bland. Imagine going back to a white collard shirt and blue bottoms.

We're pretty sure nobody wants to go back to that.

This is why as students we should not abuse this right we possess on campus. Common sense should be used we obviously know that a bathing suit will cause controversy and even racy t-shirts can cause a stir.

Yet we see students doing it everyday. Someone mentioned how they can not stand seeing how girls dress up for school looking like its saturday night and they are ready for the club.

As much as some students might not like this, there is nothing that can be done because it is that person's right to wear whatever pleases themselves and not anyone else.

As long as everyone respects each other and every one's unique way of dressing we have nothing to worry about.

We can all continue wearing what makes us who we are. And enlighten LBCC with our colorful clothing that paves the way to new students and the new trends that are here to come.
