According to the Associated Press, on June 14, local time, the Federal Federal Fourth Circuit Court ruled that a franchise school in North Carolina asked female students to wear skirts to school.

It is reported that a trial team composed of 16 Federal Court of Appeal Courts made a decision after holding a hearing. Most of them believed that the costumes of the franchise school violated the "constitutional rights" of female students.

It is worth noting that the ruling overturned a ruling made by three juries that had been composed of three judges. At that time, the judges believed that the franchise school was not subject to the "equal protection clause" of the Fourteenth Amendment.

It is understood that the US franchise school refers to schools that are borne by public funds, specially allowed teachers, parents, education professional groups, or other non -profit institutions.

Such schools have passed through the legislation of the state government. Although the government is burdened by the government, it is handed over to private operations. In addition to achieving the effectiveness of educational effects scheduled by both parties, it is not limited by general education administrative regulations.

However, in this hearing held on the 14th, most judges believe that since the government is borne by the government, it should be subject to equal protection clauses.

Most of the opinions written by the court judge Barbara Milanno Daten stated that "the funds of the franchise school are allocated by the state, and the state's educational regulations are constrained. The franchise school is a school authorized school and should fulfill the obligations stipulated in the constitution. "

It is reported that the ruling was supported by many parents of students. Bangni told reporters in an interview that her daughter was studying at this franchise school. "I am very happy when I hear the news. Girls from kindergarten to grade 8 are required. It is inconvenient to go to school in skirts, especially when activities and exercises are emerging. "

Earlier, the founder of the Chartered School, Baker Mitchell, said that the school asked female students to wear skirts to cultivate the "knight spirit" to cultivate male students and let them learn to respect women. He also said that the requirement is also to ensure that girls are treated "more polite and gentle" than boys at school.

In this regard, Barbara said that this approach wants to convey to children that "women are fragile and the idea of ​​male protection." This stereotype may bring devastating consequences to young girls.

According to ABC, Aaron, a lawyer representing the franchise school, issued a statement on the same day that the school's lawyer team did not agree and would consider taking the next step.
