SYDNEY, N.S. Hundreds of students and more than a dozen Cape Breton Regional Police officers made for a large crowd in front of Sydney Academy on Thursday during a student protest, about the school s dress code. A lineup of police stood guard in front of one of the school s doorways and the most fervent of protesters sat on the ground in front of them. Students say it all started when some girls came to school wearing crop-tops and were told they were in violation of the school s dress code. He dress coded us all and told us that it wasn t right, said student Brooklyn Wells.
