Girl, 10, protests dress code

Zoe Hinkle thinks her miniskirt is fashionable. Her school's principal says otherwise. The fourth-grader plans to hold a rally after school Friday along with some classmates at Streams Elementary School in Upper St. Clair. The girls want to let school administrators know they don't appreciate being told their dresses are too short. "I think I needed to say something about it," Hinkle, 10, said Wednesday. "Freedom of expression should be the style you choose."
