Parents, students fight back after girl sent home from school for showing

High school dress codes that forbid micro-miniskirts or butt-baring shorts are one thing. Though many would describe her attire as modest, the school disagreed.

Rightfully, Dunn criticized the school for maintaining a dress code that punishes girls for showing their collarbones “because it may distract their male class mates”.

It all started on August 13, the first day of school.

That sounds like the boys have a problem that should be corrected, not the girls.

Stacie Dunn was called in to the Kentucky high school a few days ago to come pick up her daughter because she had violated dress code – for not wearing a shirt that covered up her collarbone!

When I got there I found a group of female students standing in the office due to being out of dress code also. Not only are parents being called away from work, she continues, student are missing class time because the skin below their necks is showing.

Stephanie was sent to the principal’s office for wearing a scoop-neck top (with a long-sleeve blouse over it).

Dunn did not respond to Today for comment.

Now the story has gone viral, prompting debate about outdated dress codes around the county.

“There’s nothing magical about the collarbone itself other than that’s just a point of reference, kind of like your knee would be for the length of shorts, or the length of a skirt”, Hawkins said. “It’s not because anyone thinks the collarbone is dirty”, he says.

This may look like a total normally outfit to you, yet last week, in the year of 2015, American high school student Stephanie Hughes was sent home from school because this outfit was deemed too revealing. “Something needs to change!”

In a following post, Ms Dunn said she had brought a scarf to school for her daughter to wear, however the principal insisted it was not enough.

Change is on the way.

A team of students, faculty, and parents are working on a proposal now that will be submitted to a school committee in a month.

In another Facebook photo, Dunn posted a picture of her daughter wearing the scarf.

She claims they are looking at changing the dress code ahead of a school board meeting next week.

Dunn created an online petition which has garnered nearly 4,000 signatures in favor of changing Woodford’s rules and the school seems to be paying attention.
