Utah High School Student Told To Cover Her Shoulders

[timslash]

So these Mormons or school officials(or somebody else who said that this girl need to cover her shoulders) are really mad.
I can't understand logic in their words...
6 wifes for one guy is normal, but uncovered shoulders is sin, lol?!

 

[Syriusly]

I think 99% of Americans only PRAY that their daughter wears a dress like that.

Yeah- that is a really cute, and respectable dress.

How anyone could find that dress to be too revealing says more about the person who thinks it is too revealing than the girl who is wearing it.

A dress code is one thing.The dress the young lady is wearing would be proper in the 1950s. It is not provocative or suggestive in any way.

Yea these hicks need to get with the times. I am pretty sure the US fought World War Two for the right to abolish school dress codes. Didn't Martin Luther King have a section about permitting two inch shoulder straps in his "I have a dream speech"?

If this isn't oppression, I don't know what is. Can legal charges be filed?

Your post is just totally idiotic. Get a life. My God! You are bringing in gay and lesbians into this discussion, WWII, MLK....you're sound like a nut case. Say something sensible. Are you 80? Do you think young girls in 2015 should dress like they did 65 years ago? Do you dress like men did in the 50s? Do you wear slacks, a white shirt, and a suit coat every day? Because that is what most men wore in the 50s.

LOL. I like how you treat political and moral issues like it is a fashion trend. "OMG dress codes are SOOO 1950". Yea, what a convincing case.

Why don't you tell me more?

I did not say a word about dress codes being passe. I said that the dress in question is suitable for 65 years ago. Don't put words in my mouth. As the OP stated in the thread title, the dress code in this case is BACKWARD, goes back to the 50s, which is ridiculous 65 years later. And you think what a woman wears is a political and moral issue?

Presumably, you are one of those backward men who think women should not have a say in what they wear, which definitely makes you passé.

I would compare it to today's women in places like Saudi Arabia.

Women can't even wear short sleeves in public in Saudi Arabia.

Today, in Saudi Arabia if that girl had dared to walk on the street wearing that dress, she would have been arrested. Then she would have faced public flogging or a cane.

Today, in most of the rest of the world, that dress would have been considered very pretty and very appropriate for her dance.

She looks very pretty in that dress and it's one I would have bought for my teenage daughter.

If I was the parents of that child, I would sue the school system.

Are you kidding?

Tell that to Elizabeth Smart.

I still can't imagine any school in this day and time having such a strict dress code. I'm not so surprised over the dress code as I am over the strictness of it....I know if they didn't have some sort of dress code some teenagers would or could come with a totally outrageous outfit, like see-through, plunging necklines, or something else more provocative, but the dress this girl is wearing is suitable for Sunday School....IMHO!

I know, it's a travesty! What legal remedy can we use to resolve this? Isn't there a civil rights commission for it? Well I guess for now we can just whine about it on the internet.

she knew the rules and the are over board. next year there will be hundreds of wardrobe malfunctions to prove they are cool. watch.

 

[Skylar]

Her dress doesn't appear too provocative to me, so why does Utah still cling to these old fashion strictness?
I think they are wrong for having embarrassed the young teen and made her feel ashamed for wearing such a beautiful and certainly respectable dress....

What's wrong with some people?

I personally don't find that the slightest bit offensive. But this young woman knew the rules before she dressed up. She can hardly blame the school for making her follow the rules once she arrived.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Utah is a great place to live, not cold or mean at all.

The culture provides much enjoyment and amusement at some of the silly things that occur here.

Steinlight, undoubtedly, would find the culture far too left wing for him.

Utah is 86% white, 62% Mormon, mostly Republican and very conservative. Lots of survivalists too. I've been there once. Not a place I would ever want to live. Suffocating is what I'd call it. Cold, mean and suffocating.

Then don't live there. Problem solved.

I don't, but I also sure don't want these frigid uninformed bigots having any say so in how the country goes, the majority of Americans are not that prudish.

The weirdest thing of all is how much Republican/conservatives criticize Muslims, yet Republican women go along with their leaders in suppressing equal pay for women for same job, control of their bodies and other things. Next thing they are going to be requiring women to wear Burkas and Republican women will go along voting for it......

 

[hadit]

Utah is about as idiotic as muslims insisting on hijabs or whatever the fuck they are called. Hell, why not just adopt covering utah women from head to toe like the middle east does and be done with it?

Because that would be stupid?

Utah is our version of Iran.

 

[hadit]

I think someone was wrong to label that particular dress unacceptable but I do not have a problem with a reasonable dress code. It is a judgement call, and I disagree with the judgement in this case.

Same here.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Mertex, lighten up. You live in the Hill Country, and you know plenty of backwards Texans like the some of the backwards folks here. And there are 20 some millions of Texans and two some millions of us.

Look at Mississippi and Alabama if you mean a religious "version."

Or we could be a bit more absurd could we? While I think its just fine,if they want to live that way,have at it,you know be like the left says they are inclusive and tolerant?
