A lawsuit against the Napa Valley Unified School District and Redwood Middle School, Napa, Calif., states that seventh-grader Toni Kay Scott, 14, received an in-school suspension for wearing Winnie the Pooh socks, along with a denim skirt and a brown shirt. The school's policy requires students to wear clothes with solid colors in blue, white, green, yellow, khaki, gray, brown and black. Denim fabric is not allowed. A lawsuit, filed Monday in Napa County Superior Court by The American Civil Liberties Union and a law firm on the girl's behalf, alleges that the dress code is unconstitutionally vague and too restrictive.
