A 10-year-old fourth-grader is protesting a rule by her school that bans miniskirts.

Zoe Hinkle and her mother, Leslie, said there is nothing wrong with the skirt, if there are shorts sewn underneath.

Steams Elementary in Upper St. Clair has a policy that said skirts that rise to mid-thigh level are just too short.

The school said the dress code imposes limits on clothes that disrupt the educational process or cause a safety hazard.
