Is it right that schools can implement a dress code for school dances?

A week before the homecoming dance my high school got on the announcements to discuss the dance's dress code. "No tube tops, no tank tops, no halter tops, no revealing backs, no cleavage and no underwear may be seen," they said.

Is it right that schools can implement a dress code for school dances?
Since it is a school function, you can say that they have the "authority" to do so. Is it "right?" That is a different question entirely that has no objective answer. To me, it would best be answered by looking at the school's history: has this been a trouble-causing issue? If not, than to me, a dress code isn't required. However, if problems constantly rise from what people wear, than perhaps there should be at least some kind of code.
Reply:yes, it is about time they clean things up a bit.
Reply:Are you on school grounds?If so they can do anything they want.Believe me it's in your best interest.You'll understand later on in your life.
Reply:The school is probably trying to instill some values example to dress respectably.
Reply:Yes they can.I would love to see more schools doing this.
Reply:well yeah, why would anyone go to the school dance dressed like that anyway? well i dont see the problem with tanks and halter tops but the rest is not so good. I guess the school doesn't want a "nip-slip" happening at the dance.
Reply:Well it is a homecoming dance so I guess that it is right to have dress codes because homecoming celebrations are formal unlike other parties. And other thing, it is a school you are going to and wearing tubes is very informal.??
