U. S. Supreme Court declined to review 4th Circuit decision striking down charter school's dress code
On June 26, 2023, the United States Supreme Court declined to consider a North Carolina charter school's challenge
of an appeals court's ruling striking down the charter school's dress code requiring its female students to
wear skirts while attending school.
"The 4th U.S. District Court of Appeals threw out the dress code,
ruling that North Carolina charter
schools are "state actors" working on the government's behalf, so
they can't impose rules that won't fly in traditional public schools. The ACLU
and several parents of female students had sued Charger Day School, which
emphasizes "traditional values" and gets 95% of its funding from the
state, arguing that its dress code violated the Constitution's equal protection
clause and federal anti-discrimination law, Title IX."
