Fundamentally, there is a conflict between the First Amendment Rights of the children, parents, and taxpayers.

Ok...So, let's assume a parent is capable of controlling a teen’s dress. ( This is isn't always possible since many teens work and have their own money and have friends who are more than willing to lend clothing.)

Why should this child, and his family, be **FORCED** into assembly ( remember that “assembly” is a First Amendment human right) with children whose parents hold different standards and values regarding dress, or may tempt the socially, spiritually, and psychologically immature child to borrow inappropriate clothing? Why should taxpayers be forced to pay for this First Amendment abomination?

You are using a straw man argument.

Schools are within their legal rights to establish dress codes and enforce them. You are also using red herrings saying that the parents can't control what the students wear.

Those are two logical fallacies.So please condemn these parents for doing a lousy job of raising their children.

Because a person with such a high degree of education would never ever resort to using logical fallacies to try and prove a point, they would never ever avoid answering a direct question by trying to switch the topic. Nope a person with a such a high degree of education would never ever resort to those types of tactics, never.
