Principal Sent High School Girl Home For Showing Collarbone

[Adelaide]

I didn't read the story but my position is - if an institution, school, work has a dress code and that dress code is violated then send them home.

Worked at a very conservative business... $#@!, 20 years ago and I remember them sending women home for wearing pants, which were against the company's dress code.

Exactly. High school is preparation for real life. Jobs have dress codes, some stricter than others. You're lucky if you even get a casual Friday.

I ve read other articles on this but I was afraid to post them for fear of being labeled a sexist or something.

Schools are trying to combat the lack of respect for women that is overwhelming schools. Its an epedemic. Young girls are feeding into this by dressing the part.

When I was a kid I wouldnt dare call a girl a HO or a $#@! and WE opened the door for girls when I was in school.

Was this going to far ? maybe but I dont disagree with schoold trying to get back to showing females respect and not talking to them anyway you want too.

Now I may get blamed for blaming the girls dress for this. IM NOT, I am saying that their dress can add to it or make it easier to make it better.

"A school principal sent a Kentucky high school girl home because her outfit showed too much collarbone.The Huffington Post reports that the girl’s mom, Stacie Dunn, was outraged that school administrators punished her daughter, Stephanie Hughes, for the “revealing” outfit on her first day of classes at Woodford County High School. Dunn posted a Facebook photo of her daughter in conservative attire.

“I had to come to the school because according to her school principal what she is wearing is out of dress code and inappropriate for school,” Dunn wrote in the caption.

At the principal’s office, Dunn she saw several modestly dressed girls punished for the same offense. The indignant mother brought Hughes a scarf to cover her clavicles, but Dunn said in another Facebook post that it was not enough. The school staff sent the young student home for “giving the principal an attitude.”" - Source

A girl gets sent home from high school because she is showing her collarbone. Principal Rob Akers is strictly enforcing that rule because such a sight distracts boys. This isn't Little House On The Prairie, pops. Is this some new bible-belt thing?

Hopefully next time you'll read the stories you post.

Found a pic of girl and attire. Doesn't look to revealing or inviting of sexism or whatever. I think it's another case of a petty little dictator with a chance to abuse his/her power.

Yeah...I understand. Some men have absolutely no control over their sexual urges when they see a collarbone...or ankles, knees and calf's, it distracts them from learning, among other things.

I understand a reasonable dress code, but a restriction from showing the clavicle is a bit much. Even businesses don't go that far.

While I think this dress code is ridiculous, if it is clearly stated in a handbook that the kids and parents read before the start of the year, the young lady is obligated to comply or face the penalty. It sounds like the school would have let her wear the scarf her mother provided if she wouldn't have gotten an 'attitude'.

I'm going to have to side with the dress code people on this one. It's he policy of the school. Now, admittedly, her attire doesn't seem horrible in any way, but as the article pointed out, it was her attitude that got her sent home, not her shirt.
