I'm sure you'll get over it pretty quickly ;)
Interstate Commerce rationalization
My thoughts exactly. Aside from a little more butt cheek, a thong is no more "revealing" than regular french cut or similar undies. They're not granny britches, but unless they're from Fredericks and missing some fabric, they'll cover as much as a skimpy bikini.
EXACTLYSuzi Creamcheese wears a thong & miniskirt to a school dance and gets gang-felt-up on the dance floor? Parents sue the school district for failing to keep such skanky activity from happening.
Vice Principal makes damn sure Suzi Creamcheese isn't wearing a thong? Parents sue the school district for violating Suzikins' "right" to be a "bang me" billboard for young adolescent boys.
The parents are the Mk 1 Mod 0 rockheads here, not the school.
If the skirt is too short, then the school should ask the girls to leave, or to change into a longer dress and return. There is absolutely no legitimate rational for lifting the dress to see what they otherwise could not see. You authoritarians are are dead wrong on this.
The State mandates that kids go to school and then, once there, deprives them of their Constitutional 4th Amendment Right. This further deprives the adolescents there right to recourse and rememdy. Yes, the Constitution applies to "We the People" not just "We the Adults." If the Constitution did not apply to everyone, then could the authoritarians not also deprive children of their Constitutionally protected Right to life and liberty?
You authoritarians never cease to amaze me with the imposition of your private will over another's protected Rights!
DITTO !!
LOL, girlfriend. Your secret's safe with us!
Our daughter dressed modestly, but the thought of her being touched by any school official, in a public forum, would certainly incur my wrath.
Was there a dress code outlining the length of skirts and/or what type of underwear is acceptable?
In law enforcement parlance, her actions constitute a strip search by merely exposing the students' underwear.
I'm not ready to give school officials that authority without specific probable cause and parental consent to do so.
To be graphic, did she check to ensure that the boys in attendance were wearing underwear at all. During a slow dance with an attractive young woman, I suspect the boy without underwear would be showing much more than the girl with whom he was dancing.
Wonderful speech, but completely wrong. See posts 68 and 78.
The remedy for girls wearing skirts that are too short is to send them home, not to grope and molest them. If lifting their skirts and eye-balling their "privates" is okay, then why stop there? What else can they do that is okay with you? Where does it stop and who decides? That is why we have a Constitution and Rights to privacy -- so authoritarians like you aren't the ones making the decisions for everyone else.
or, even more to the point, what of a young woman who's
skirt failed to meet this fascist's definition of 'proper length',
but was in fact wearing 'grannie drawers' underneath ?
would the public humiliation of her skirt being arbitrarily raised have been any less palpable ?
No dances.
Seriously. Why should a school be holding dances?
Now there's a job I *think* I could execute with perfection; up to (& maybe during) the massive coronary...
Yea; checking the thong undies on sweet, nubile, hard body-teens & accurately recording color & style isn't something entrusted to just anyone.
...ain't that right, Mud? :o)
