The underwear check is over the line...however, I would hope that the school dress code would dictate the length of the skirt and that alone would be sufficient reason to send the girl home to dress more appropriately. A skirt that is so short that your underwear would show if you raised your arms has no place in a school setting.

[Piquaboy]

This sounds like something the former Pervert in Chief would be doing.

It's a dance, a SCHOOL dance. Short skirts at a dance tend to fly up and reveal what is beneath. The thong type underwear will reveal all of an ass and a portion (if not all) of pubic hair, and perhaps even genitalia. For all practical purposes, it's the same as NO underwear.

This vice-principal wanted a modest, appropriate dance.

Sorry, folks, but I support her. And if I were a conservative parent who'd advocated morality in schools, I'd be walking a picket line in her behalf for STANDING UP for what was moral and appropriate for youth.

Ok, am I the only one here wondering why they just didn't tell the girls their skirts had to be a certain length and forget about the underwear?

[mutchdutch]

Some of the people posting here are just as bad as the liberals........Anything goes.

Reminded me of high school where it was a constant battle of the principal to get us to tuck our shirtails in. It was a constant battle but in the end he was trying to teach us to take pride in ourselves and how we looked......to this day I still tuck my shirt tails in. Didn't hurt us a bit and we didn't have any namby pamby parents challenging him.

Let's see now -- high school girls in short skirts and thong underwear at a dance. I rather doubt that a girl has any reason for doing this other than providing easy access.

And the fact that the principal is checking at all suggests that "easy access" has already become a problem.

At any rate, the lady's right: that kind of clothing has no place at a public event for kids.

Sigh... What would Sisqo do in this situation?

[Alabama_Wild_Man]

I wonder - why didn't the Thong & Dance Polize just line the attendees up like their parent's cars at the MARTA Stations and use those mirrors they use to check under the cars ?? ?? ??

[1Old Pro]

As usual, sloppy reporting.

What the story failed to mention was that girls who wore thongs were handed a box of Altoids mints and girls who wore panties were given condoms. I think the girls who wore neither were given RU 486.

"And she was literally lifting up their skirts and embarrassing them in front of everyone else," one student told 10News."

Don't wear the thong, if you can't take the heat. Thong wearers should be immune from embarassment, otherwise why wear it. This story illustrates one of America's biggest problems: "Idiotic Parents". What sane mother is going to defend her daughter wearing thong underwear and a short skirt to a high school dance? They should be angry.... at their slutty daughters.

"Vice Principal displays vice principles."

[Intimidator]

Hey this sounds like its straight out of a movie like Porky's

[Bill Davis FR]

did she check the boys underwear too...lol

[Hildy]

Yikes. This is a new one.

[boris]

"10News contacted school officials, who all declined to go on camera. But Principal Paul Gentle did say that he is 'looking into the situation.'"

Isn't that what caused the ruckus in the first place?

[Rule of Law]

Army regulations state that women's underwear will have a cotton crotch. I once knew a male First Sergeant who was ordered by his CO (a female) to check that all the female troops were complying with this regulation. He declined -- repectfully of course.

[galt-jw]

any parent dumb enough to allow their daughter to wear a thong under a skirt at a dance, (where, gosh mommy, i didnt know it would flare up and get all the adolescent morally bereft horndogs -guys and girls, yuk, nowadays- all worked up, but thats what i hope to do there), are dumb enough to be surprised when the kid comes home knocked up or infected with std's.

parents should figure out that the std thing wasnt around when they were their kids age, if they dont have any moral understanding.

[Old Fud]

Lose-lose situation.

"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.

If the daughter had come home in rough shape because her scantily clad privates proved to be to much of a temptation for a couple of football players, Mom would be mad too. And lawsuits would ensue. The school is culpable for the safety of students at school functions. However unseemly this "inspection" was, it's only a reaction to parental irresponsiblity.

BTW, public schools suck in all ways, and my kid will never darken the door of one.

[JAWs]

Legal precedents require proof of more than a pair of lasses in such undergarments. After all...
TWO THONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT!

[Landru]

Sweet Jesus!!

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)
