I didn’t see that it was a planned attempt to break the rules. My hunch is that she thought she didn’t even consider the skirt being too short when she put it on. But really, neither you nor I can tell if she was planning on skirting (ha!) the rules or just thought it was a nice skirt to go with her leggings.

Where? I’m from Stockton. Not saying that’s great or anything, I hate the fucking place. But that’s where I grew up.

She did not break any “law”. Her clothing is clearly within bounds of the dress code.
He is being vilified because he made up enough “rules” to dehumanize the girl a second time.
Before, yet again, exposing your mind numbing ignorance I suggest you read the actual dress code. It is painfully obvious you have not.

Visalia. Very hot in summers (as you know) so I think this is why there was a tolerance for all things skimpy.
But parents also stayed out of policy decisions, so maybe that’s why? I mean the war on Christmas is a result of the war on Halloween in some schools. Must get rid of all possible things that might offend a parent.
Anyway, I’m sure my high school has a dress code these days.

I think my alma mater might have one now, too. Back in the 80’s, the only time a friend ever got sent home to change is when he wore a shirt that said “chickenshit” on it with a silkscreened picture of a chicken taking a dump. Profanity was obviously out, and nobody thought the school was being dicks. We all thought he pushed it too far.

Authority becomes slavery when you notice what they’re really doing. His crime is not hiding it very well.
I absolutely wore tube tops in elementary school in the 70’s and miniskirts with fish nets to high school in the 80’s. I also had a principal who regularly wore leggings 20 years ago when I started teaching. A principal! She wore them with a school sweatshirt almost every Friday. I went to a pretty average inner city school.

Geez, where did you grow up? I also went to school in the 70s, and remember the era (70s and very early 80s; I graduated HS in 1982) as a time of a total lack of dress codes. I tend to associate such policies with either the Bad Old Days before my time or with the harshening up that happened well after I was gone.
(This was in Western Canada.)
Because it weakens the system by making lower-level authorities uneasy about enforcing stupid rules in such unpleasant ways.
So basically, the rule book was written by drooling morons. Gotcha.
Principal: It says right here in the rules, you have to bend over this counter-top for me to measure your skirt.
Student: Who wrote the rules?
Principal: I did just now.
Meanwhile, in the UK, schools are still making it controversial to cover oneself…
“Ofsted can downgrade schools for Islamic veils”
“Can schools ban the veil?”
