Too Much Cleavage for Prom, or Discrimination?

Washington high school senior Brittany Minder was hoping for a memorable prom night, and that's exactly what she got ... just not for the reasons she anticipated. School officials at the dance told Minder that she had one choice: she could either cover up her cleavage, or go home, telling her that her dress was in violation of their dress code.

The code allows for strapless dresses, but cleavage and midriffs must be covered. Minder argues that she was unfairly targeted because of her size and that she's limited as to what she can do to 'cover up.'

"I feel that it's because I am bigger chested, and there is more cleavage that you can see, and I don't know what I can do about that," she told a local reporter. "I felt self-conscious, and it took the magic out of the night."

Wasn't this way when I was in high school....but, then again, neither had dirt been invented yet....

The girl is a ditz. It is perfectly possible to cover up cleavage if one is well endowed.

Can’t make a judgement without a photo

[Monterrosa-24]

Oh good grief. The busy bodies should have let her be instead of being bust police.

There was a girl dressed like a skank at my sons prom. She had to walk with her legs locked together to prevent her butt and crotch from falling out of the dress, I am so liberal with clothes its not funny, but this girl’s mom spent $500 so her daughter could look like a cheap hoe.

Busted!

hmmm sounds like a really important national story. Is it just me or does it seem like Gretchen is being made to cover fluff pieces lately. She’s a very good interviewer and Dusey, though I love him, is not but he’s been doing all the heavy lifting.

Pretty ugly tent....

Not enough dress.

Where's Dad?

I'll be damned if I'd let my daughter wear something like that (if I had one)

The code allows for strapless dresses, but cleavage and midriffs must be covered. Minder argues that she was unfairly targeted because of her size and that she's limited as to what she can do to 'cover up.'

Not reported in this story is that the girl had a shawl with her and the school told her to wear the shawl.

She refused to comply and instead, left the prom and went home.

As near as I can tell, there's no rule that says that a prom dress must be low-cut and/or strapless. The choice of attire was hers.

I am growing very tired of these stories this time of year. Some poof is upset he couldn’t bring a male date, some pervert is upset he can’t wear a dress, some hussy is upset she can’ have her boobs hanging all over the place . . . .

[mrs. a]

Is that her? She looks rather...porcine...

[5thGenTexan]

May get pulled last the last thread, but here goes:

1. The rules for dress were published beforehand,
2. The dress she picked made no attempt to minimize cleavage, it actually accentuated it.
3. She was allowed in, just required to cover with a shawl.

So, her evening was "ruined" because she was not allowed to show off her cleavage all night.

She’s not well endowed, she’s fat.

Looks like a blivet.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Yesterday’s thread had pictures.

[Gay State Conservative]

Given what I saw in that video I suspect that the school was correct.But she played the “race” card....or,more accurately,the “sizephobia” card.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Oh good grief. The busy bodies should have let her be instead of being bust police.

Yeah, that is so appropriate for a high school girl....NOT!

[illiac]

I have also noted this with Gretchen....plus some additional days off with a younger blond filling in for her...of course, the younger blond just happens to be the daughter of one of their doctors and their medical team coverage....
