Oh, this is a fun one out of North Carolina. There is a charter school in North Carolina.

And man, it is a good one to say the least. The school requires girls wear skirts.

And why do they have to wear skirts? Because here is the policy, as it is written, that girls are, quote, fragile vessels deserving

of, quote, gentle treatment by the boys.

The school implemented a dress code that is founder, a businessman, and that would preserve chivalry.

That's the reason that the founding of the school and ensure the girls are treated courteously

and more gently than the boys.

And, of course, there was a lawsuit.

And here is why the charter school, in fact, lost.

It's real simple.

The charter school accepts federal money.

That's it.

If it was a private school that didn't accept federal money, hey, you can wear uniforms, you can force that issue, girls have to wear skirts, boys have to wear ties, it doesn't matter.

It's a private school.

But once public money is used and accepted by the school, the county, which did the suing, by the way,

Brunswick County argued successfully that the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment

of the Constitution applies because you're treating boys differently than girls,

and you cannot do that.

And so it's a winner for the county, and the school cannot force girls to wear skirts

because they're fragile vessels.

I guess they're not anymore deserving of gentle treatment.

Well, the argument is that the boys should be gently treated by girls, too.
