Alice ISD has been regulating dress code without consent of its students for several years, and it was workable; until now.
The district's dress code for PROM is blatantly infringing on the right to freedom of expression, and accepting this sets a precedent that the students are to accept rules that they have not consented to.
The district voted that women must have the following:
"No dress shorter than 3 In above knee
No dress lower than 3 in blow the collar bone
No back lower than natural bra line
No strapless
No stomach showing
No 2 piece
No mesh at all"
But the real problem is that the school passed this WITHOUT consent from the students, and a precedent set like this must NOT be tolerated.
Why the district decided to suddenly make these rules? We do not know the answer.
