The parents were “mortified” but they didn’t pull their daughters from the event.

How “mortified” were they?

What I'm thinking.

That's what I was thinking. They were mortified, but not enough to provoke them to action.

Why were they afraid of school administrators (i.e., what power do the administrators have over parents)? That's the question.
