WASHINGTON, D.C. — A North Carolina charter school will not be able to force female students to wear skirts after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear its appeal of an earlier ruling against the school, reports say.
School founder Baker Mitchell had said the dress code was intended to promote “chivalry” by the male students and respect for the female students, according to court documents.the case highlights the “gray area” in which charter schools operate, accepting public funding even though they are run by private organizations. Charter Day School receives 95% of its funding from the public, the Post reports.
Mitchell tells the Post that the Supreme Court’s ruling is “disappointing.” Mitchell said it charter schools are now subject to “rules, regulations, and political machinations that have crippled government-run school systems.”
