I had to do that too in the military. There was a name for it, like a fashion show or something. I was at a training command at the time, so it was unreasonably reasonable, but on deployment in absolute insanity.

Well in most of my school years I never had a dress code or anything up until like the 10th grade... that's when it started getting hectic at the time. Had to wear belts, no open-toed shoes, no facial piercings, no unnaturally colored hair, etc... I feel that was pretty lenient compared to today's standards, but I don't see how there can be a legal/moral basis for faculty enforcing corrective training on students beyond detention or assignments... especially not after school hours in the AM. I mean... that's seriously messed up. That's the state raising children and I don't see how that could have ever been accepted.
Not in public school. No way. And for parents to even let that happen is depressing to say the least.
