The case turned on a 2015 email from school founder Baker A. Mitchell Jr. to the mother of a kindergarten girl who objected to the skirts-only policy and later became the lead plaintiff in the case. Mitchell went on define chivalry as “a code of conduct where women are treated, they’re regarded as a fragile vessel that men are supposed to take care of and honor.”
