re: High schooler says she was turned away from prom for wearing a suit

We can’t be hypocrites and want freedom but berate this kid for not wearing a dress

The kid has freedom to wear that suit any other time. But the school had a dress code for the dance that was not followed.

If I get invited to a formal event like a Mardi Gras ball I can’t decide to show up in a tuxedo T-shirt because I’d be more comfortable and then complain when they won’t let me in. No different here.
