A federal appeals court ruled Tuesday to resurrect a lawsuit filed on behalf of a kindergartner who was expelled for wearing little blue earrings to school.

Rocky Mountain Classical Academy in Colorado Springs is a K-8 charter school. It has a dress code, some portions of which apply only to girls and others only to boys. One aspect of the gender-specific dress code is that girls are permitted to wear small earrings to school, but boys are banned from wearing earrings at all.
