The idea of making the outfit ugly is so kids won't violate dress code. If it were just a school logo sweatshirt, kids would push it because the consequence for violating the dress code wouldn't matter to them.
We have a puke green granny shirt that says "Dress code violation" for girls to wear over their dresses at dances if they are deemed inappropriate. The girls know what the rules are and they know what the consequences are if they break them. IMO, putting this in the news is much ado about nothing.
Send them home. Why humiliate them in front of the entire school?

Why is it humiliating? It's just a shirt that comes down to their knees.
And actually, the girls in my school usually choose to have someone bring them a change of clothes or borrow something from a friend who has something in their locker (I think many of them bring a back up just in case they're caught). We can't send them home because we're, legally, responsible for them until a parent picks them up. If no parent is available and they don't have a change of clothes, there's the puke green shirt to cover the infraction. I wouldn't call this humiliating so much as a deterrent. It's not like the kids don't know before they break dress code. This is the choice they make when they choose to break dress code and not have a change of clothes handy.
That may be true but you're still not allowed to call her one.
As should be the case.

The girl chose to wear it. If she found the whole incident that humiliating, why not take one of the other two options?
This is just some girl and her mom trying to raise a stink and get their 15 minutes of fame, along with what they no doubt hope will be a nice little settlement from the school district.

The students asserts that she was not apprised of the other two alternatives, and I see no reason not to believe her.

And I see no reason to believe her. The resulting selfies and legal threats do nothing to make me think her side of the story is true.
Her claim is not particularly believable. What the school says, however, seems like exactly what one would reasonably expect to happen.
