Prom Dress Too Explicit To Be Allowed In

CNN recently posted this video online about a young girl from Houston, Texas who wasn’t allowed into her prom because of the dress she wore. Comments on the video ranged from blaming the parents for lack of control, applaud for the school’s reprimand on the attire, and chastising the girl’s attire. Is this an outcry for school’s nationwide to set a standard code for attire worn during school hours and at events? Will this lead to a mandatory requirement for school uniforms? What are your views? Should students be able to wear what they want? Here is the link to the video: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2008/05/12/edwards.skimpy.prom.dress.khou?iref=mpvideosview

Well her dress was very.......different, for lack of a better word. I think if she wanted to show some skin, there are more classy and fashionable ways to do so. But since this wasnt an in-school event she should have been allowed in.

Regardless, this was a school sponsored event. In order to get into these events, students must abide by their rules. She chose not to follow the rules, she should not have been allowed to participate. Simple as that.

Hmm. Honestly...we had a few dresses like that at our prom last year. Granted, our school's dress code was super lax, (classroom and out of class) but I don't think it was that serious. It's her senior prom. What, all of 10 more days and she will have graduated? If that were my decision to make, I probably would have just let her in and let her enjoy her last bit of senior year. They made the comment that her friends tried to make her dress more appropriate by pinning it up, and they still would not allow her in because of her undergarments, but realisticallly, a lot of females go braless in formal wear because its so hard to hide the straps. The argument seemed to be focused more around "we not going to let you in because we say so" then having reason as to why her dress was inappropriate.
