tlb: “Which it obviously had not done.”
You really should read the article more closely before responding, because it clearly states the school had a strict dress code.
They had to cancel the prom because one person was pushing her agenda on all the other students. Perhaps you should blame the person who actually caused the disruption rather than the school board?
Again, schools have the right to set standards. Students must comply. No one’s constitutional rights were violated here.

Hence she asked for permission to go outside the dress code. Had permission been denied she could have dressed as a slut and fit in with the rest of her classmates, but I don’t really see that as an improvement. Ladies have been wearing trousers for almost a century now. Most people don’t get the vapors at the sight. Darn you Kate Hepburn.
The matter of the gender of her date apparently was not so particularly limited. This left the school unable to block the girls other then to cancel the entire dance.
Or put another way, if they DID have controlling rules in place, why not just enforce them instead of taking away the prom from all the “nice” people? How is that so complicated?
The right move would have been to change the rules for next years prom. As clueless as they come off in this story, they’d probably screw that up too though.
I read fine, thanks. Usually anyway.
