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.

"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.

Yeah..I tend to agree..probably explains why she’s posing with her legs spread as well. They wanted some attention.
Why is this front page national news?
School dress codes have been quibbled about forever.
Trivial.
I got sent home in jr. high school for wearing a Boy Scout shirt because it was “inappropriate for a young lady.”
Teacher didn’t get the joke.
(I was scouting for boys. Haha.)
But I went home & changed because we respected our elders & did what we were told WRT trivial matters such as dress codes.
Set up. Mom was ready to post about this right away(as if she anticipated this). Lack of a dress, a date and the poses raise some other questions as well.
The way she is sitting, on the luggage, you can see she is wearing pants. But if she stood, it would look like a dress— and tasteful.
LOL I was trying to emphasize, not yell and trying to think like a teenager. Mom may not have been that involved.
You are correct, the rules say dresses.
Yup.
She’s homeschooled, and goes to an event for homeschooled students. It’s her, or her parents’, responsibility to know the dress code.
She looks lovely. It also covers up a heck of a lot more than many in gowns have covered. Sort of has a Breakfast at Tiffany’s fashion feel.
Our planners was the Senior class and they worked for free.
Ha! Our nuns circled like sharks the perimeter of the dance floor looking to find a couple dancing too close, then tap them on the shoulder and utter that exact statement. Good times!
Nothing got past the Catholic sisters. Yep, good times. We just didn’t know it back then.
Not a dress.
