If she showed up in something ridiculous- sure- but to pick the fight over a suit seems like the school leaders were just as actively looking for attention and affirmation in their own circles

Let the kid have a good night in an outfit that doesn’t stick out

The student showed up to the dance where the dress code had been very meticulously conveyed. The school allowed the student to go home and get proper attire. The student declined that offer, yet you sit here and say that the school picked the fight.

I wonder what lenses some of you view life through.

School leaders were following the rules given before the event... Someone was looking for attention, and it's not the school.

And next year the 6’4”, 240 lbs. senior linebacker wants to wear a little black dress and heels.

It would be demure with half sleeves so he didn’t “stand out”.

Boys are boys and should dress accordingly.

Girls are girls and should dress accordingly.

At the end of the day it’s a kid in pants and a jacket. We can’t be hypocrites and want freedom but berate this kid for not wearing a dress. HOWEVER this is a private institution and they have rights. It’s still a non story.

school leaders understand the if you give em an inch rule.

If my kid was going to prom in an outfit, I would ask them if that is the required attire. If the answer was no, I would insure it did. But I am not looking to garner attention
