My understanding is that courts have made an important distinction between in school (including on field trips and the like) and off school behavior. Certainly waiting to post on social media until you were out of school might make a big difference. Because TAKING the photo was not disruptive.
Sitting in the deepest blue part of Ohio, that list might as well be a checklist for Ohio. Remember that Terry stops, the core of stop and frisk came from a case in Cleveland. The Obergefel decision was centered on an Ohio rights infringement. The Mapp decision which extends the exclusionary rule for illegal searches to states came from Cleveland cops raiding homes without a warrant. As for encouraging racism, we still have physical segregation barriers and Tamir is still dead. Go check the SPLC’s civil rights martyrs page and you’ll notice that Cleveland killed a man with a bulldozer to build a segregated school. As for free and fair elections, my urban congressional district is 110 miles long. Iconic lefty hub Oberlin is represented by Jim Jordan. I think most people have seen the lines that appear at polling places in Ohio cities in presidential years. As for the religion thing we had a fetus testify at the statehouse. This isn’t a regional problem and the southern stereotypes are not helpful in addressing the issues.

Update. Not hard to imagine that the district’s lawyer had a little chat with the superindendent about the ruinous lawsuit on the horizon.
[but wearing masks in school can’t be mandated, especially by principals as authoritarian as the one in the story? BS]

Were I a student there, I would immediately start violating as much of the dress code as possible.

But sexist dress codes can be…
They’ll enforce that… well, if you’re a girl, they will.

I got in trouble in 8th grade for wearing cut-off shorts. It’s not like they were Daisy Dukes, they ended just over my knees, and they broke none of the dress code rules at all. I can only assume they thought they would suddenly spontaneously unravel.

They probably had a general “no cut off” rule, whatever the length. Which is as silly as any of the dress code rules they come up with.
None the less, these codes tend to penalize girls more than boys.

Oh, I wasn’t trying to say girls weren’t more penalized. I guess I’m just still bitter, especially since there was no written rule about cut offs.

Well, but see you’re just supposed to KNOW these things! /s
But who did you piss off at your school?

Not GA, but almost on topic?
"Oneonta High School coach Phil Phillips told WBMA-TV that a fifth player has tested positive for the virus that causes COVID-19. It’s the second quarantine of the summer for the team.
“I looked my wife in the eyes Monday night before I went to bed and I said, ‘You know I sure hope we didn’t kill anybody’s grandmother today by having a football practice,” said Phillips. “You’re torn because the kids want to play so bad.”
I guess its a step that he at least recognizes the risks involved?

The novel risks, at least. You don’t really get to be an adolescent neurotrauma coach by letting risk assessment get too out of hand.

didn’t think it was necessary to append the USA to the subsidiary name of two of the best known german companies on the planet. I can switch to home depot and UPS if you want?
About that shield:
Apparently no faculty were on the committee that came up with this.
That said, I’m envious: apparently we’re not even getting short shields on my campus.
