Good point, and honestly I don't see why the upper management doesn't just amend the regs and make a third uniform option of a long dress - it would solve the situation here, protect the organization from similar problems in the future, and be a good PR move. They are being petty for no discernable gain, and I think they are also being very dumb - but that being said, the stupidity is not of the religious-freedom-denying kind, just of the normal clueless-management type.

EDIT - I also think she is not being very smart, either. As usual in most of these situations, you have the idiots vs the morons, and somehow the rest of us get sucked into cheering for one side or the other.
