At my old high school, there was a Samoan community that owned an
entire street near their church. They were the ones who ultimately
broke the dress code. In protest about the girls being forbidden to
wear pants, which was some how bad, when it was OK for some of them to
wear skirts no wider than a "hell´s angels belt", the Samoan started
comming to school in sarongs, when the administration complained they
forced them to back down as this was ethnic discrimination against
their national dress, during the process a lot of wannabe scots
started wearing their sister´s plaid skirts.
