Subject: About time: Court strikes down school dress code rule that kept girls in skirts Sun Mar 31, 2019 6:32 pm
The traditional-values dress code policy of a North Carolina charter school was tough. Now, it's also unconstitutional, based on the ruling of a federal judge. Charter Day School in Leland had a dress policy that forced girls to wear skirts, skorts or jumpers that are knee length or longer, WECT reported. Failure to comply could have meant discipline or expulsion for the young students. According to WECT, the parents of three children, ages 5, 10 and 14, filled a lawsuit along with the Civil Liberties Union against Charter Day.
