Some girls said administrators made disparaging comments about their bodies when telling them they couldn’t come inside, including one girl who said a school official told her that “my boobs were too big for my dress.”
The Tribune has chosen to redact a reference the teacher made to his own child and his name.
As school dance season kicks off for kids across the country, they said they wanted to talk about the harm that dress codes can cause and how they believe the requirements unfairly shame girls. Burton said she stood there for a minute, listening to other girls talk about what happened to them and listening to the administration’s comments on those who came after her.
“It just got really out of hand really fast,” Bennett said. “And it didn’t seem like they were enforcing the actual dress code.” It adds: “Because of differing body types, the same dress may be acceptable on one person, but not on another. … Please do not put school administrators in the difficult position of upholding school standards or let yourself or your date be embarrassed by being called out for violating our school’s dress code and asked to leave the dance.”
