It is unfortunate, but the dress code is clearly stated
Young Gentlemen —You may enjoy wearing a tuxedo, but it is not necessary for this event. Dress pants,shirt, and tie are perfectly acceptable. Avoid jeans, shorts, sagging pants, or t-shirts.
So, it would seem dress pants are expected and we should not simply assume a kilt would replace them. I agree it does not say not to, but it does state 'pants'. Now, if it said formal, semi-formal, smart casual or other less specific to garments we might see some latitude for the ethnicity of dress the young fellow wishes the organization would tolerate. Having read the site, I think he'll be waiting a very long while.

Where does it say dress pants are required?

AGAIN?! Don't school admins keep up with 'current' events?

If I understand this correctly, there was no "school admin." My understanding is that this was a dance put on by a group of parents of strong religious belief who based on those beliefs, chose to teach their children themselves rather than send them to any school.
No admin. No supervision of the education. Perhaps good or poor education. Depends on the parents in each situation.
Sad to me.

I really cannot see what the fuss is about. People have decided that they are going to hold a dance, quite sensibly they have made some attire requirements that many would find useful. They may be disappointing to some of us, but in reality those requirements are perfectly reasonable and certainly not draconian. Its really a situation that any host faces and like any sensible host they have given dress guidance. It is down to the guest to accept that guidance or, don't go. It is that simple, oh and two more things. One, don't bleat about it. Two, lay on your own do!

Since the regulations state pants for boys and dresses for girls, then in Europe they would be prosecuted under sex discrimination regulations.
Last year at a school in Suffolk UK, in a heat wave, the regulations were long trousers or Skirts and the school could not be persuaded to allow Shorts, so at least one boy went in his sisters Skirt! and they couldn't stop him.

Most certainly. I have cousins that are home schooling their three children. I would put them up against any fomally schooled kids, public or private. Another acquantance, on the other hand, isn't doing their children any favors by home schooling.

Funny. Yesterday after making the OP I went to the site and read the "etiquette agreement". 'Draconian' is the first word that popped into my head.
Anyhow, I think they were confronted with a situation they hadn't planned for and, out of ignorance, took the safe route.
Edit: I see the article has been edited to include a statement from Praise Prom. Ignorance isn't the issue any more, so I'll go with narrow-minded.

Oy, well deserved, since I reacted before reading the article.
