The judge has effectively struck down dress codes in public schools Cannoli Send a noteboard - 24/03/2010 11:43:39 AM
The judge ruled that the girls First Amendment rights were violated, which sets a precedent for other schools. But he wouldn't order the school to hold a prom as he's got no legal basis to make them if they don't want to.


Assuming he is referring to her intention to wear a tuxedo. With this as a precedent, how can any attire that does not meet the definition of public nudity be forbidden? It's all about self-expression after all. On this principle obscenity & bigotry can be expressed in clothing, and forbidding it is a violation of First Amendment rights.
