Lake City High School doesn’t anticipate any dress code problems with its homecoming dance this weekend because it is keeping it a casual affair. That wasn’t the case with the Coeur d’Alene High School’s homecoming dance last weekend where students were not allowed to wear dresses with shoulder straps less than 2.5 inches wide. Several parents complained about the policy and national media even took an interest in the story. Seventeen magazine ran a story online Monday about several students who chose not to attend the dance because they couldn’t find a semi-formal dress with 2.5-inch shoulder straps/Jeff Selle, Coeur d'Alene Press.

Question: Is the best dress code for a dance no dress code? Or should there be sensible boundaries?
