The U.S. Supreme Court this week asked the Biden administration to weigh in on a dispute in North Carolina over a charter school requiring girls to wear skirts as part of the dress code.
The high court asked Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar for the federal government’s opinion on a dispute brought by Charter Day School, located in a rural area outside of Wilmington, North Carolina.
The charter school operates with government funding, but under a contract with the state, it’s subject to only minimal government oversight, compared to other public schools.
The school, along with parents, implemented a uniform policy requiring students to wear white or navy blue tops tucked into khaki or blue bottoms.
