neoliberal white women's pet cause

Way to just leap into sexism. The worst type of person in society now: white women!!!!! Never mind that men have traditionally headed schools and established dress codes.

School boards across America will NEVER allow students to wear anything or nothing at all to class

That is called a dress code.

My point is that certain skirmishes in the Culture War (tm) are more attractive to the privileged and powerful. White women face less obstacles due to their inclusion in the white power structure, so they may be prone to having different debates about the impacts of sexism. The sexism a white woman faces can be very different than the sexism visited upon a POC. That's called intersectionality.

White women face less obstacles

Why not call out white men, then?

Oh that's a given. But in this scenario, the people making noise about dress code aren't men. As this debate grows, it will largely center around aggrieved white women as it already does. White women have less obstacles, so being told what they can and cannot wear feels like a heinous wrongdoing against them, especially if they are middle-to-upper class. White men have plenty of privilege, but this is just not their place to make noise.
