There were no “county and school district wide policies.” The segregated proms you’re talking about were planned by parents and held on private property. That’s a bad thing to do, but it’s not illegal. The schools had nothing to do with them—which would be illegal.
replyYour story, by contrast, is about a school enforcing honor codes in a discriminatory way. That’s something schools face tremendous Title VI liability over. It’s completely different.

reply... specifically because their school districts specifically voted to drop school sponsorship of proms because of desegregation, to legally insulate the schools and districts. Rather ignoring the concept of cause and effect.
