If the philosophical reason included her truly held religious belief, then
her decision to not where white would be one that the school needs to
accommodate her on. If it is not based on her religious beliefs, I think
she
is into the realm of moral protest. If the school has a policy protecting
ones moral/political beliefs she can access that policy for protection. If
not, she will probably be dealt with the same one dimensional way all of us
have been who challenge the "rule", that is, be considered a rule breaker
and handled accordingly. (see quote in my signature below)
