The Supreme Court won’t let a North Carolina charter school force girls to wear skirts to school

The North Carolina charter school’s attempt to enforce a dress code requiring girls to wear skirts has been denied by the Supreme Court. On Monday, the justices chose not to hear an appeal from the Charter Day School located in Leland, a town in eastern North Carolina. This decision upholds the ruling of a federal appeals court, which deemed the school’s dress code as a violation of students’ constitutional rights.

According to court documents, the school’s founder, Baker Mitchell, had stated that the dress code aimed to promote “chivalry” among male students and foster respect for female students.

In other news, the Supreme Court has upheld a ruling in North Carolina, declaring that congressional districts violated state law. Additionally, North Carolina Republicans have initiated efforts to override Governor Cooper’s veto of a farm bill. Furthermore, a pilot tragically lost their life when a small plane crashed into a home in North Carolina, fortunately leaving the three occupants unharmed. The incident occurred shortly after takeoff near Ocean Springs Middle School.

As a result of the lower court ruling, the dress code at the Charter Day School has already been modified to allow girls to wear pants. For more news on the U.S. Supreme Court, you can visit the AP’s coverage at https://bigbignews.net/us-supreme-court.
