    The court will apply intermediate scrutiny and the school will have to demonstrate that the rule is substantially related to an important government interest

    Explanation:

    The 14th amendment was ratified by the United States constitution on 28th July, 1868. The 14th amendment is most popularly known as "Reconstruction Amendment". It provides equal protection and rights to its people which are provided under the constitutional laws.

    In the context, Andre who wishes to enroll in the school's ballet class was denied to take admission as the ballet class was only for the girls as per the school rules. So he sues the school authority under the article 14th amendment. As a result, the court will carefully examine the rules and regulations of the school and for this the school needs to prove that the stated rule is accordance with an important government interest.
