Well, I'm drawing a mental image of the administrator doing the paddling and he looks a lot like this guy:
If you don't know who he is, sorry, I'm not gonna say anymore.

I agree. I wonder if somebody there gets off on paddling teeanage girls...or boys.
Well, your name seems appropriate for the comment above... "all men dream". :)
Probably not gonna happen. But just goes to show the problem with this whole thread. It's not the suspension, it's the alternative punishment. Too weird.
And I don't think the dress is that bad - unlike many here. Certainly nothing I'd wear but I've seen far worse - I can't really tell how high the skirt is but the top doesn't seem terribly daring to me. It's a special event - not every day wear at school. But she was told, send her home if it's not appropriate, suspension is ridiculous.
“You’re a naughty girl, go to my office!”
I don’t any problem with the dress code, in fact, it could be stricter.
However, I think the punishment should simply be, “You can’t come in wearing that. Go home and either put on something that complies with the dress code, or stay home.”
The principal didn’t seem too bright in the interview, neither did the mother. The girl seemed smarter than both of them.
As for the dress, I wouldn’t let my daughters wear it, but it wasn’t THAT bad. Still, if it violated the dress code, she should have been sent home to change, but not suspended and especially not paddled.
I wonder if purchasing it online contributed to the problem. It might not have been clear how revealing it was, until the girl tried it on.
Did she participate in an undercover ACORN sting on the way to the prom?
see post 59 BS
The dress is not that bad, but if it violates a cleavage rule, then a good solution would be having a few t-shirts or scarves at the door, for a girl to throw on and cover up. My sister, who teaches middle school, keeps t-shirts on hand to cover up the girls who show up to school with skimpy tops. Also, I used to know a judge from Arizona whose court had a dress code. Attorneys needed to wear a tie, despite the laid-back desert culture. If they forgot their tie, there was a selection of really tacky ones at the court from which they could choose. Something like that can be done for the dance, that still lets the person attend, but gently reminds them of the standards for the event.
You are more than welcome to that skank in #19. Take her, she’s yours. UGH
My bad, wardaddy. I apologize.
you don’t owe me hon...I put my foot in my bigassed mouth without really looking at the girl....I just saw all that spillage and figured chunky...and I was sure wrong...she is dang cute
but the rules were pretty plain weren’t they?
*ps....I was barred from my prom...long hair and the stench of ganja....a soon to be conservative one day Jeff Spiccoli I was circa 1974-1975
dazed and confused and stupid and probably could not have gotten a date anyhow
the stench of ganja
Haven’t we all had a run- in with the medicinals? (I had to treat the glaucoma I might get in the future)...Summer 1987... I hope my kids never find out. God Bless, War Daddy!
Young lady, your clothing shows a lack of modesty. Therefore, you must bend over in front of the principal and let him smack your ass.
Talk about mixed messages!
Not surprising that this happened in Alabama (see related: Judge Herman Thomas).
Do you believe that there are some places where "Swim Wear" standards are not appropriate?
This is a school dance, not a beach party.
Your argument is straight out of Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals." Just because a certain amount of skin is alright where bikini's are allowed doesn't mean it should be shown in any venue.
If that's photo of one of those weird polygamy cults, I'm guessing those women are pretty much baby factories and "hitting that" starts around puberty.
Paddling teenage girls for wearing skimpy clothes? Does this not sound a little perverted?
You never lost your mind, stormer; it ran away screaming.
This is true. When there were fewer "absent fathers," you could count on a dad to go to the school and sort out the situation. Few principles would have the guts to suggest that "paddling teenaged girls bottoms" was part of their job description.
Unfortunately, there aren't to many fathers in the households.
Depends if they like it or not?

The money quote? “I’m not gonna take no corporal punishment. This ain’t the 1940s...”
