U.S. judge: School's rule for girls to wear skirts breaks law

U.S. District Judge Malcolm Howard ruled that Charter Day School can't enforce the skirts-only rule as part of its dress code that punishes violations with suspensions and even expulsion. No child has been expelled for violating the dress code since the school opened in 2000, Howard said in a decision filed on Thursday.

One of the mothers suing with the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of their daughters said the judge's decision means a girl's comfort and freedom to move is on par with their male classmates. Howard ruled that though North Carolina charter schools and their non-profit board members are not the state's agents in every respect, Charter Day School's leaders were acting under colour of state law when they adopted a disciplinary code that included punishing children who didn't wear the prescribed uniforms.

Way to go. Being forced to wear a skirt to school when I was a child, I thought we had evolved way past that stage.
