Thong-Wearing Teens Kicked Out Of Dance
A group of parents are calling for the resignation of Rancho Bernardo High School's vice principal, claiming she enforced underwear checks at a school dance, 10News reported.
The dance occurred Friday and vice principal Rita Wilson turned away girls who were wearing thongs, the parent said.
Kim Teal is among the several parents angry with Wilson (pictured, right).
"First thing (my daughter) said when she got into the car was, 'Mom, it was horrible last night. You have to fight this,'" Teal told 10News.
According to parent Alane Garvik, girls who arrived at the dance wearing short skirts were immediately asked: "What kind of underwear do you have on?"
When Garvik's daughter red-facedly announced that she was wearing thong underwear she was told to "go home and put on appropriate underwear," according to Garvik.
Teal's daughter made it in and claims to have witnessed faculty lifting the skirts of girls to assure that the offending underwear was going nowhere near the dance floor.
"Well, I just saw ... a line of people and the vice principal, Mrs. Wilson, she was checking to see what the girls were wearing under their dresses. And she was literally lifting up their skirts and embarrassing them in front of everyone else," one student told 10News.
Parents and students have placed the blame on Wilson, for spearheading the thong underwear checks, even though there is nothing in the school dress code against them.
"It's not their right to know what kind of underwear these kids have," Garvik told 10News.
10News contacted school officials, who all declined to go on camera. But Principal Paul Gentle did say that he is "looking into the situation."
Parents are now asking for Wilson to resign.
Gentle said that even while enforcing the school dress code, it is not proper procedure to ask students what they are wearing underneath their clothes.
He told 10News that he plans to meet with parents sometime this week.
if my otherwise well-behaved son showed up for the prom
only to be met at the door by some wannabe nazi prick
demanding to see his underwear, or *gasp* lack thereof,
i'd be sorely tempted toward sanctioning my kids decking
of said (likely lascivious) perv.
ROFL!!! And I thought the nun's with rulers checking our uniform hemlines was bad!
I agree totally.
However, I must remark that judging from some of the other "serious" responses here, not many actually have lived with teenagers; or grasped the concept of responsible parenthood.
ya know folks, if we 'little people' don't start waging
war, on a personal level, against this kind of creeping
brownshirt mindset on the part of our 'public servants',
our country will become completely unrecognizable in our lifetimes.
to the extent it hasn't already become so ...
in this situation, i would sue the HELL outta this school district.
You know OUB, It's more than short on knee jerk, it is bordering on Lunacy.
tomkat, did you even READ the article. It said girls wearing Short skirts were checked for appropriate attire.
hence if some nazi prick was checking your son, it would be because he was wearing a SHORT SKIRT....which at a high schoool dance would be inappropriate..No?
Once the Skirt reaches a certain level, that act of dancing itself, makes the underwear Outerwear. And, no matter what these idiot parents think, thier daughters vulva hanging out of a thong is inappropriate, at a HS function.
Tell you this. The first Irate father that shows up at my door, bc his daughter was wearing a short skirt and a thong to a dance and got nailed by one of my boys, gets beat up by me....
The article seems to suggest that longe skirted women were not checked...
Yes. If you and I are not being paid thousands on a consulting basis to perform this function....Surely the terrorists have won...
No, just doing what the parents should have done in the first place. When Garvik's daughter red-facedly announced that she was wearing thong underwear she was told to "go home and put on appropriate underwear," according to Garvik.
Would you let your teen daughter leave the house wearing a mini skirt and a string for underwear? I would hope not, and if you did then for that young girls sake, I would hope that someone would tell her that she is dressed more like a slut then a teen.
