It is reported that public schools in the United States have long been banned from promulgating such gauge regulations. Most judges believe that public franchise schools are also subject to equal protection clauses of the US Constitution because they accept government funds.

The Associated Press said that the above -mentioned ruling on Tuesday was made after all 16 judges of the Fourth Tour Court participated in the hearing, which overturned the decision made by the court's previous group.

According to court documents, he also said that this requirement to ensure that girls are subject to being subject to being subject to "Polite and gentle than boys" treats it.

The majority of the court's decision wrote that the reason given by the school is based on the non -allowed gender stereotype. The school "forcibly requires wearing a skirt to clearly pass the information to the children: girls are" fragile ', and the boy's protection requires the boy’s protection. It should be treated differently from male students, and these stereotypes have potentially disastrous effects on young girls. "

Choose the best education for children. "
