Quote of the Day

In recent years, there have been a lot of stories about prom getting too skanky (see: bodily fluids on the floor during one school dance). Girls dressing too provocatively is a major part of that issue. One Dallas area school turned several girls away from prom due to “inappropriate dress” (pics can be seen here) and the families are not happy.

“I could hear screaming and crying,” [one girl's mother] said. “My husband kept saying, ‘Baby girl, calm down,’ over and over.”

Sarah Guffey had been turned away from Mesquite High School’s homecoming dance because the senior’s dress didn’t meet the dress code.

Ian Halperin, a school district spokesman, said that the district’s policy for outside events is longstanding and that students had been told what to expect.

“The students had been told all week long during the announcements there would be a dress code,” Halperin said. “The whole point of this is it should have not been a surprise to any young lady that her dress would be reviewed before entering the dance.”
