The current study critically analyzes the dress code and uniform policies of 89 New Orleans public charter schools using content analysis. Dress code and uniform policies across the United States are deeply rooted in racism, sexism, and classism and, through their implementation, further contribute to these same oppressions. In this study, the dress code and uniform policies, including the justifications for policy, specific policy rules, and possible consequences for noncompliance, are the primary units of analysis. Drawing on intersectionality and the concept of misogynoir, this study attempts to dissect what school policies communicate about race, class, and gender. The racist, classist, and sexist language deployed within the policies is exposed while specifically centering the disproportionate regulation of young black female bodies in dress code policies. School social workers are uniquely positioned to advocate for more equitable dress code and uniform policies. This study contributes to the larger body of literature for its inclusion of data from an entire city as well as its intersectional approach.

当前的研究使用内容分析法对89所新奥尔良公立特许学校的着装要求和统一政策进行了严格的分析。整个美国的着装要求和统一政策深深植根于种族主义，性别歧视和阶级主义，并通过其实施进一步加剧了同样的压迫。在本研究中，着装规范和统一政策（包括政策理由，特定政策规则以及对不合规的可能后果）是分析的主要单元。这项研究利用交往和杂食杂种的概念，试图剖析关于种族，阶级和性别的学校政策。种族主义者，阶级主义者，并暴露了政策中部署的性别歧视语言，同时特别着重于着装政策中对年轻黑人女性身体的不成比例的监管。学校社会工作者的地位独特，主张倡导更公平的着装要求和统一政策。这项研究为更大范围的文献做出了贡献，因为它包含了整个城市的数据及其交叉方法。
