LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A high school administrator who allegedly lifted the skirts of teen girls at a dance to make sure they were not wearing skimpy thong panties was put on leave, but furious parents said they would not be satisfied until she was fired.

Rita Wilson, a vice principal at Rancho Bernardo High School in suburban San Diego, was placed on administrative leave pending an investigation, officials there said.

"She needs to be fired," mother Alane Garvik said. "And if they don't fire her I'm willing to file a lawsuit. My daughter has already told me she doesn't want to go back to Rancho Bernardo if (Wilson) is still there." "She feels violated," Garvik said. "She feels like somebody was messing with her private parts. All those boys there seeing her butt and her thong."

Garvik said among the few girls who escaped a panty inspection were those who were overweight.

"They said: 'You are overweight so I wouldn't expect you to be wearing something like (thong panties)," Garvik said. "One girl was told she was 'matronly' and since she was 'matronly' they didn't expect her to be wearing something like that."

Other parents said girls were made to partially disrobe if Wilson or another teacher suspected they weren't wearing bras.

Looks like she has her thong in a wad.

I saw this on O'Reilly last night. Apparently what happend last year one of the girls exposed herself and that is what set off the teachers to check for underwear.

This is a public , uh...I mean government, school. Why would an school administrator even be concerned about such things?

[GSWarrior]

You answered my question before I asked it. Thanks.

Thanks for keeping us briefed!

I really cannot believe this. There is absolutely nothing wrong with thongs. Girls where them all the time to avoid lines when wearing fitted pants or skirts.

oh you are ORIGINATING these threads now? just posting to them was not enough!! LOL!

This story was all over MSNBC yesterday.

I cain't help it. The Devil's Panties done got ahold of me.

[xsmommy]

yes i could tell Bill O'Reilly's panties were in a wad over the story last night. i am still skeptical. i find it exceptionally hard to believe that the VP did this. i was on my kids field trip today and one of the other chaperones is a VP in the Fairfax County school system here. she was unfamiliar with the story, but she told a few stories about parents threatening legal action for her even TALKING to a student about possible consequences for an infraction (in this instance it was printing out an Instant Message where a pornographic scenario was painted of a fellow student. The kid confessed to doing it, the VP called the mother and the mother said, YOU DON"T SAY A WORD TO HER TIL I GET THERE WITH MY ATTY....)

i sense a thong obsession taking hold....

Like me, I am sure HG's interest in this story is purely about the legal intricacies, and technicalities of the law.

Bwahahahahahaha!!! I almost kept a straight face ;)

[xsmommy]

well you know i am looking at it strictly from a legal point of view !!! if i were a school administrator i would want to be smacking PARENTS!

No "smacking" and "thong" allowed in the same thread.
