a - Yes, I agree. I also find much of what young people wear today looks rather foolish.
b - Yes, she does not deserve that much money. Our society sues much too often.
I think the dance promoters should also be able to set some limits on attire. My biggest objection with this case is that they are essentially banning the colors of the CSA battle flag. I believe they are thinking it is a racist symbol when it is not. Now if they would say something like there will be no bright colored attire allowed, I would think it is rather silly, but I wouldn't object as much. Her dress looks like typical formal wear except for the colors.
