I was talking about this school.

No, you weren't. If you were talking about this school, you wouldn't have asked, Can you cite a media report that has "plenty of girls showing up together at their proms"? Instead, you would've asked, "Can you cite a report that girls show up together at the prom at this school?"

Whatever. I keep providing you with evidence (the school memo, filed by the plaintiff's attorneys) that the school did not require juniors/seniors to bring dates.

My point is, that's NOT what the judge held.

You can't think for yourself? He's just a judge, not the Almighty.

Does that mean the school didn't expressly forbid her from bring her "girlfriend" as her date?

You still don't get it. The juniors/seniors who identify as "straight" can't bring underclassmen of the same sex, either.

Did you read the judges opinion? He states several times that the school violated her 1st Amendment guarantees.

How many times do I have to tell you? What I read was the complaint filed by attorneys for the girl herself. I even provided you with links to that complaint.

If the public school can force girls to wear dresses, it can also force them to wear burhkas.

You're really melodramatic. FCOL, my friends and I didn't go to our proms because back then we laughed about the gowns and tuxedos. No one is forcing someone to go to a prom in the first place. The prom is an optional event.

You're on the wrong forum if you think a dress code for a prom is a violation of someone's "civil rights".

You're living in the 1940s if you think the government can demand that female students wear dresses rather than slacks.
