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.
Well Angel?
Like so many other things in life, if it's good; yes, very.
A good Merlot's more than sweet, though; it should be velvety & smooth.
When served with a properly BBQ'd Porterhouse & shared with good company?
Well.
I just don't think life can get any better than that.
...thongs or no thongs.
guilty party hangs head, shuffles feet ...
Sexual assault charges need to be filed.
when the moose show up, then i'll give ya 'severely'
I doubt this is true, and if it is true, then operating a public school should be a felony. That would certainly stop this problem.
It's some sort of FR law of nature - after a certain number of posts, any thread is taken over by the degenerates...like me...
I think that, like this thread, the Great Thong Debacle of 2002 is likely to amount to a lot of p*ssing and moaning, but not much else - it'll blow over ;)
I'm 17. Check my profile. Did I ever say that there should be no limitations on what is worn to school? You're putting words in my mouth, tsk tsk. The girls shouldn't be allowed to wear extremely short skirts, I don't give a rats ass what kind of panties they're wearing underneath. Send them home for the skirts, not for the kind of underwear they're wearing.
We would know, right?
Glad you're back! I'm just sorry I missed the pics that caused all the trouble in the first place. No worry though. I know where to find 'em (or similar ones anyways).
That said, the VP is an idiot. A policy should have been established beforehand. No one should have had their skirt pulled up in the presence of others. The VP could simply have had chaperones look for inappropriate displays on the dance floor or elsewhere, and then immediately eject the offenders.
I can tell you my daughter will be able to choose thong underwear when she's buying her own and supporting herself - not before. The "panty line" argument not withstanding.
Did she pick up her daughter in the morning? Where was her daughter all night?
Questions, questions...
Will we ever get the answers?
of course we will, this is FR !
don't touch that dial ...
