As far as dress codes go as a free speech issue with schools below college level, the Supreme Court hasn’t really addressed that issue as completely unconstitutional as it concerns uniforms, dress codes or grooming requirements. Courts have ruled that schools utilizing a school uniform doesn’t violate civil rights of student when it is consistent and fair for all of the student body. You have a higher civil right to receive an education and a school dress code doesn’t infringe on that right. But that has nothing to really do with universities
I think the biggest thing you said there was “consistent and fair across the board”. We are getting into “1984” territory with the thought police. I don’t believe the kid should be expelled for this and I would hope the school doesn’t cave to the woke mob. I still believe that they have the right to expel him but it will be interesting to see how it plays out.
