289. The main issue to me is not whether the dress codes should be the
same, but where the school is being reasonable in the dress codes' specifications. I think it may be reasonable to say one cannot come barefoot to graduation, for example. But here the codes are extremely rigidly sex-typed in ways that bear no relationship to current thinking about appropriate dress for girls (women) vs. boys (men). It is appropriate for girls to wear dark pantsuits, socks and flat shoes to graduations; there are probably thousands of schools where girls do just that.
