ACLU Challenge Prompts Pants Approval
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. -- Girls will be allowed to wear pants after all at a Virginia high school graduation.
Administrators at Menchville High had required the girls to wear white or cream-colored dresses under their graduation robes.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia charged the dress code was based on an outdated notion of what's proper.
Now, the ACLU says the school is dropping the code, but students will be encouraged to dress appropriately.
