Liberal Twitter response: "Isn't that the free market you love, Trumpster? You can always send your boy to a different school."
As far as this case goes, I'm really not in disagreement with the court's opinion. I don't see any reason why a school can't permit some kind of pant and skirt option. That said, I'm not in agreement with the court's ruling power to tell a school what it can and cannot do. As long as the skirts are appropriate, then I do think it should be up to the owners of a given institution what they accept or don't, who they associate with or choose not to.
But that just circles back on the first point, would you be okay with a school mandating boys wear skirts? My initial reaction is, yeah, go ahead, and watch your school fail in record time. On the other hand, it seems like there has to be some norms and beliefs that are just universal in a society, that can't be trampled on no matter how 'free' your market is.
The draw to being a hypocrite is strong, but at some point do we just have to accept there is no alternative that isn't hypocritical? Maybe trying to judge systems on their fairness is the wrong approach to begin with.

Legally, the school could make everyone wear skirts. Or kilts. I think.
