Supreme Court Rejects Charter School's Mandatory Skirts for Girls
TL;DR Summary
The Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal from Charter Day School in North Carolina, which had required girls to wear skirts to school. The school's dress code was found to violate students' constitutional rights by a federal appeals court. The founder of the school had said the dress code was intended to promote "chivalry" and respect for female students. The dress code has since been changed to allow girls to wear pants.
