On Friday, Darcy Krueger, 17, showed up at the Tampa Bay Homeschool Homecoming Dance wearing a black jumpsuit, but was turned away because of a dress code.

Darcy, who has been entirely homeschooled except for one semester of middle school, has attended many events thrown by the organization behind the homecoming dance, TampaBay Homeschool Prom, her mother tells Yahoo Lifestyle. But this time, she was sent away for failing to wear a dress.

Darcy, who has been entirely homeschooled except for one semester of middle school, has attended many events thrown by the organization behind the homecoming dance, TampaBay Homeschool Prom, her mother tells Yahoo Lifestyle. But this time, she was sent away for failing to wear a dress.

"I was very surprised," Darcy told ABC Action News. "I called my mom and I was telling my friends about it because I couldn't really believe it."

Melissa tells Yahoo Lifestyle that it was the private event organizer who sent her daughter away, also refusing to discuss the matter. The event’s Facebook page appears to have been removed.

At 74 I hear a dual meaning in ‘at closin’ time’. IMS, the phrase was used in a Country song and referred to the closin’ time for the bar and the compromise brought on by the alcohol use. At our age it could now mean ‘as we near the closing time for ‘all the girls I’ve loved before’.

Classy look. Why do people think prom dresses are supposed to look ridiculous? She’s dressed just fine.

This is what Yahoo qualifies as “news.”

Pathetic.

It’s interesting to see comments here. Many overlook the fact that she’s in violation of the rules of dress, even though she has a nice outfit on. They think that because she has a nice outfit, that violating the dress code doesn’t matter.

I guess it depends on one’s criteria for judging the situation. If one adheres to the stated dress code, she’s in violation, regardless of how elegant she may appear to be in this different type of outfit. On the other hand, some imply that the dress code is wrong to exclude this type of outfit.

What should they write about? The Fermi Paradox?

Or should everything be about the “impeachment”?

I just looked through pages of homecoming dresses for a friend...current in style for homecoming. There were several styles of jumpsuits included.

So that is the fashion now, I am not sure what the issue was. If they had a dress code were they clear about what they were allowing?

I have to say many of the dresses I looked at would not meet my dress code. I wouldn’t have allowed my daughter to wear them around the house much less to a homecoming dance. Many VERY revealing dresses, missing a lot of fabric.

The jumpsuit she has on in the picture seems fine to me. Did they not think it was dressy enough? I noticed when I was looking there was a range of dressiness from pretty casual to formal.

From what I found there are a lot of options that are in style so they needed a clear dress code.

She looks great, not shabby nor cheap. She will thank these idiots for launching her modeling career:

Correct

She did NOT break the dress code. It says nothing about dress pants, it only mentions jeans and length of dresses.

My sons had to buy suits and ties for their (homeschool) dances.

If you don’t like the dress code, then don’t go to the dance.

Lots of stories in the news about school students crying over dress codes.

Surprising to see a homeschooler this time.

I read their dress code after I posted my comment but it does say “semi-formal dresses” so it seems they did not want slacks or jumpsuits.

If I was in charge of dress code I would not have an issue with slacks or jumpsuits since many are considered semi-formal. I would be far more worried about the lack of fabric some dresses have now.

It does seem she violated dress code. If she had a question about it, she should have asked ahead of time.

I know it is fun to pile on. But aren’t you curious about the facts?
I am. Not knowledgeable enough to form an opinion yet.

You’re right...it’s not complicated.

Their gig, their rules. Obey or go home.

These days, if rules are not very clear and rigidly enforced, then any act of judgement by an official invites a lawsuit for some flavor of discrimination.

Read the rules at #13. Girls were supposed to wear dresses, with no other options.

The dress might technically violate the rules, but I find nothing lewd or overly-suggestive about the outfit, so I probably would have let her in with a mild warning for her to be more careful in the future (if other social events are on tap).

Get over it...If she didn’t agree with the invitation, then don’t go.

Bingo!

At risk here is the concept of "standards" and whether those who have the right to establish them, the school or the student dance committee, also have the right to enforce them. If not, the inmates run the asylum.

While a big supporter of the right to home school, I wonder if there is a risk it may produce students who think they are the center of their environment. Such a belief, of course, seldom leads to a long and happy life
