Showing Original Post only (View all)15 year old girl claims she was forced to wear "shame suit" because skirt was too short [View all]
A Florida mom is outraged that her 15-year-old daughter was forced to wear what she called a shame suit at school.
On her third day of school, Miranda Larkin, a sophomore at Oakleaf High School in Orange Park, Florida, was told by a teacher that her skirt was too short.
It was right after first period, Miranda told ABC News. I was in the hallway and I got stopped by a teacher who told me my skirt was too short and sent me to the nurses office. They told me I was going to have to change and put on the dress-code-violation outfit.
The schools dress-code-violation outfit consists of a neon-yellow t-shirt with DRESS CODE VIOLATION emblazoned on the front of it in capital letters, along with red sweatpants with the same message down the right leg.
The school has said this is to embarrass you, said Miranda. Its supposed to embarrass you so you dont do it again.

Good Goddess...they think teenagers, especially teenage girls, need even MORE shame in their lives?

Quite true. In fact, I often think the majority of adults are "stupid and horrible role models." n/t
