The judge ruled that the girls First Amendment rights were violated, which sets a precedent for other schools. But he wouldn't order the school to hold a prom as he's got no legal basis to make them if they don't want to.
Assuming he is referring to her intention to wear a tuxedo. With this as a precedent, how can any attire that does not meet the definition of public nudity be forbidden? It's all about self-expression after all. On this principle obscenity & bigotry can be expressed in clothing, and forbidding it is a violation of First Amendment rights.
Wearing a tuxedo does not impinge on anyone else's rights – if it does, why are boys allowed to wear them?
Wearing a t-shirt saying "I hate niggers" is in a totally different league from this. Celia makes good points.
Vigilantibus non dormientibus jura subveniunt.
—Nous disons en allemand : le guerre, le mort, le lune, alors que 'soleil' et 'amour' sont du sexe féminin : la soleil, la amour. La vie est neutre.
—La vie ? Neutre ? C'est très joli, et surtout très logique.

So, I see the judge ruled in favor I the lesbian girl whose prom was cancelled.
