Are there any such dress codes that bar women from wearing shirts and jackets?

Yep, some kids at school would make fun of her. Then the media -- especially Fox -- would show up to lionize her, declaring her the true voice of American youth. She'd be all over the national media for days, along with smug Christian pundits defending her against non-existant attacks. Her picture, in her demure dress, would be continually juxtaposed with pictures of Christine Aguilara, driving home a point so obvious it doesn't need articulation. The more hysterical conservative columnists -- think Cal Thomas -- would begin comparing her to the alleged "Christian martyr" of Columbine. Eventually, at a press conference, President Bush would be tossed a soft-ball question about the controversy, which he would use as an opportunity to praise her faith, denegrate teacher's unions, and promote abstinence-only sex education and No Child Left Behind. And the picture would run.

True, in a way. This is not so much about sexuality as it is about cross-dressing. And, fundamentally, gender-bound clothing is silly, gender-bound dress codes are double silly, and this is all triple silly for female humans since they got the right to wear whatever they wish back in the 1920s.

But it isn't (unless you are in California) to say they can't wear pants. Especially when the men are required to wear suits.

Some of them will admit it, others will try and sugarcoat it.

The worst is the bible bashers that say, "don't hate the gay person, hate their gayness."

Do you have a school dress code that requires females to wear a dress? Even here in the great state of Alabama the school dress codes dont require that certain clothes be worn, only what may not be worn (and that only applies to the type of clothing not who may wear it). Maybe the next step at this school will be to require that evil females wear a burka so that they dont show off their evil flesh.

I'm not opposed to dress codes at school (although I personally find the idea repugnant I accept that there are useful benefits). This is not a dress code, however, this is a type of school behaviour (some would label it religious while I label it nazi) that is all too common.

Dunno.

On the one hand it seems to be silly to not allow her to be dressed on the photo this way.
On the other hand, if you allow this, you should also allow male transvestites to wear a skirt on photos for the yearbook

For all we know anyway, she could be wearing a skirt in that picture- it only shows the face and shoulders.

The main reason I am against school uniforms is that it implants in a child's young mind that he/she will be punished if he/she does not conform.

yeah I got to admit there's a double standard here.

Normally it's acceptable for women to wear guys clothing. That's why I find this case so strange. But it's not acceptable for guys to wear women's clothing except in the name of comedy.
