Hank Berrien

A private Catholic school in San Diego instituted a new dress code, banning skirts for girls and telling them to wear shorts or pants because some of the girls were wearing skirts that were too short.

Cathedral Catholic High School in San Diego stated that thousands of hours of detention have been given to students who contravened the dress code that urges modesty, as ABC7 reports. The previous dress code stated that dresses or skirts had to be no shorter than three inches from the top of the kneecap while the girls were standing.
