NINTH CIRCUIT FINDS DRESS CODES ARE CONSTITUTIONAL

The 9^th US Circuit Court of Appeals recently upheld a lower court’s decision that a school district’s dress code policy, which allowed individual schools to implement mandatory uniform policies, did not violate students’ first Amendment or Fourteenth Amendment rights.

The case involved a standard policy for all schools in the district, which required students to wear khaki bottoms and a solid-colored tee, polo, or button down shirt without any logos or printed messages besides the school logo.
