She's not EOD. She checked girls with SHORT SKIRTS, and in this day and age that's high enough to expose the panties while slow dancing for crying out loud. having ones private parts exposed (as in wearing a thong underneath....) at a HS function is inappropriate.

The article seems to suggest that longe skirted women were not checked...

My disgust is with the process. If this vice principal really did lift up young girls skirts in front of others, that is absolutely wrong and demeaning.

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.
