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.
ok, this time i really am gonna go do somethin' else awhile ...
no seriously, i mean it,
so just stop with the baiting !
Please elaborate.
FALSE! Government schools have no such right.
otherwise you would have topless, see-through etc. attire etc. If girls are showing their butts, it is the perogative of the school to say you can't come to the dance dressed like that.
False argument. Toplessness, showing your butt, and see-thru clothing are not legal on the public streets, so the same laws would apply in a public school. And again, GOVERNMENT schools do not have "perogatives". They are extensions of the state.
life has rules, deal with it. that is what it means to be a grownup.
Individuals have rights, GOVERNMENT schools do not. Deal with it.

I understand that is the normal procedure. They were just caught by surprise on this one.

[/waaaaaaaaaaaaa]
( oops, meant to post this, not mail it ! LOL )
oh well, i didn't hear any big booms or such, so guess we'll just have to carry on, ehh ?
Yes, parents let them dress like that. Parents have given up on trying to control their kids. And yes, dressing like a slut is the normal teen wear. Britney Spears is here to stay.
Me too. Way too much time spent on this thread.
Time to go read up on Le Pen, the War on Terrorism or something which will work to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America.
...umm, as opposed to high school girls' underwear...
I wish that someone would.
