Shafer Rupard (WBTV)
Posted on 04/23/2014 7:53:59 AM PDT by Responsibility2nd
Shafer Rupard is a student at Cherryville High School in North Carolina. On Saturday the high school held its prom at the Cherryville Golf & Country Club, and Ms. Rupard went with friends. They went inside and got on the dance floor. But the high school senior says that a teacher then approached her and asked her to leave. As WBTV 3 News reports, the reason the teacher gave is causing controversy.
Ms. Rupard had arrived to prom wearing red skinny jeans, and it appears that’s what caught the teacher’s ire. She told WBTV, “The teacher tapped me on the shoulder and said she had a problem with what I was wearing. I thought it was because of the hat or the leather jacket and I was like, ‘Well, I'll take those off,’ and she was like no, ‘It's the pants.’"

Well, I can see why she didn’t have a regular “date”. And if there is a dress code for attending prom, which was previously published and available when the tickets were purchased, then I have no problem with her being kicked out.
Trying to think of the real reason this is news ... hmmm ...
Also FTA...
The student handbook (PDF) does make a point to say, “Cherryville High School will develop a culture that is safe, nurturing, celebrates diversity and promotes school pride.”

There’s that celebration of diversity thing again. If the young lady had come with a female date - they would have been ecstatic. But red skinny jeans?
(frown, frown....)
Any prom I went to in school was explicitly “semi-formal,” which meant, at the very least, no jeans. But according to this story, there was no dress code. So I’m hard-pressed to see what rule was broken, apart from bad taste, and perhaps mouthing off to a chaperone.
No matter how “diverse” you are, those aren’t prom clothes.
Yet another retard who has unfortunately gone into teaching. I suppose if the young woman was wearing a dress, that was actually more the size of a slip, that would have been OK.
Hillary Clinton always wears pants
Umm...wow. Sort of the Brawny paper towel guy meets 80’s gangbanger meets Gomer Pyle.
Not a good look. For anyone.
“the high school held its prom at the Cherryville Golf & Country Club”
If she tried to walk in there dressed like that on any other night I’m thinking the Cherryville G&C would have told her to take a hike also.
The Biebs cousin.
I suspect it's a failed attempt at blaming religion for kicking the girl out. Either that, or she's a lesbian trolling for attention.
That's because there was a vote.............it was unanimous.
I am sorry...but after having read through the article, I really do not see what the young lady did that is wrong. She wasn’t making an ‘LGBT statement’, and she wasn’t violating a dress code.
I mean...as conservatives, we celebrate being an individual as well as personal freedom (with a good helping of common sense, mind you).
Like I said on another thread, the best weapon we have is our indifference. If only this young woman was allowed to stay and make a fool of herself at the prom. If only most students just turned their heads away and ignored her, she would quickly become mortified and slink out the back door.
But not skinny jeans!
(Thank goodness!)
Any jeans that Hillary could wear would be, by definition, not skinny.
You mean like the cutesie little baby doll nighties that women wear to church on Easter Sunday? Lol
Exactly, or how about the cocktail dresses for Confirmation?
