Honor Student Gets Suspended, Banned From Graduation And Almost Arrested For Wearing This Shirt

A school that has a security officer, actually: a security offer wiedling a gun, and the right to arrest people? A school principal who calls armed security when handling a calm girl? We live in sad times.

If it's against in their school's rules, they should warn her first, at least she will know , not banning immediately .

What I think? Double facepalm multiplying exponentially into infinity.

What the flying f**k..

Geez, I didn't even NOTICE those indecently provocative, "boom chicka wow wow" shoulders. In all seriousness, I assumed the problem was that the material was clingy around her breasts... not that that excuses their behaviour, anyway. I used to wear a similar top in a corporate environment without any issues...

Okay, so reading the actual story, this student has had enough altercations with school administration over 4 years that they are required to call her mother before every disciplinary action. If every one of those incidents were her being unfairly targeted you would think that if she could not leave the school she would at least avoid giving any excuse to target her. I am highly against sexist, body shaming dress codes, but sadly for now they exist, and this girl was aware that her shirt violated the code, and that she is already being monitored, fairly or not. So, her genius idea is to risk her scholarship by painting a giant target on her back in the form of a shirt that violates a school policy (even if the policy is ridiculous and should not exist)? Seems to me that she was just trying to cause a scene and was surprised when her actions actually had a consequence.

That's going to far! Arrest? Kicked out of school? What the heck! This little girl is the next generation ! Why! Look at her grades. These teachers and school officials need to retire! No one is thinking about this girls feeling on them putting her down. I would say pull the top up over your shoulders dear. I hate when our kids are put down. I was told when I got my hair cut at 15 I could not sing in the church again! Does this make since! Yes my hair was past my waist but it was my hair. No one has the right to judge another person. As my father in law once told me tell them to pee up a rope! It's no wonder kids rebell so much! We are lucky we still have kids wanting a good education and not into drugs. 😬😬😬😬☹️😤

I would talk to a lawyer to see what can be done to fight back on this. It is ridiculous that any school can get away with this type of behavior. Was it an Ivy league school where the students have a set uniform to wear? Not likely. Having a security guard on the school premise with an actual weapon is something that should be looked into. One of my daughters teachers tried to do this to her and it back fired on them. It is probably the same reason they made this girl leave as well. My daughter was quite busty at her age and the teacher told her she was showing too much cleavage and that she should go home and change. It was a normal V neck t-shirt. The only thing is when you are busty it sort of pulls the neck down a little bit, but that does not make it slutty or provocative. My daughter refused and left the room. They did not pursue it any further. I have to give this young lady credit for fighting back because they have no right to do this with out the parents involvement.

america is a joke :D :D :D

There are dress code rules at this school obviously. Like at every other school, my daughters school, oh they don't like theirs either and I may not agree with every one of them anymore than I agree with my own job's dress code, but it's there and there for a reason. Kids will push the boundaries and some parents will allow it and give excuses for them as well. To some readers the actions of the principal and security officer seem extreme, and yeah it might have been, but this particular version of the story leaves out the specifics of all the other "negative" encounters this student had with this principal before. Many problems were mentioned in the article, but nothing about what those were. Maybe, just maybe this student and her mother felt the rules at the school didn't apply to her. When she just sat there and wouldn't move, even though they couldn't get her mother on the phone, it was blatant disrespect on top of who knows what all she'd done before, because the readers don't. We should know by now the media leaves out information that would take away from how innocent they've portrayed her. The principal and security officer may not have been really certain on how she would react and they did what they thought was right, despite how readers assume it was wrong or excessive. So, unless we all know EVERYTHING that occurred between she and the principal, we shouldn't just believe it was only a dress code violation in itself, it appears to be more of the final straw that broke the proverbial camels back. I'm just saying, to a step back and think first before assuming guilt or innocence based on a one sided story. Could be right or it could be wrong.

wtf is wrong with these people... and why the hell does that school have a security officer with a freaking gun

Ok I watched your link and I will tell you that when a parent feels that they have to step into the situation on discipline issues at a school, it is usually for a good reason. My daughter had issues with the vice principle in her high school and she too was an honor student. Every time we turned around he has after her for some reason or other. She was too smart for him and he never prevailed. I offered to step in but she insisted on handling it herself. A friend of mine pulled his son out of a school because every time something happened and his son was there he was blamed and although they worked to fix things and he improved his behavior they never changed their opinion of him and would never believe he was innocent and if started to affect his grades. Why not use this situation to negotiate better behavior in exchange for the rights to go to the grad and receive the grants instead of suspending her positive reinforcement instead of negative

This girl could sue that security guard. Imminent Apprehension of Imminent Bodily Harm. He put his hand on his gun. For all she knew he could've shot her with it. She was probably scared :(

USA! USA!

That is against the First Amendment!

THIS IS JUST SO WRONG. A SECURITY OFFICER WITH A GUN? I HAVE GRAND-DAUGHTER'S WHO WORE TOPS LIKE THAT AND WERE NEVER CALLED IN BY THEIR PRINCIPAL. I SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS BLOUSE SHE HAD ON, AND IT WAS ON HER SHOULDER'S.....IT'S PRETTY PETTY THAT THEY ARE DOING THIS TO A GIRL THAT WORKED AND GOT GOOD GRADES IN ORDER TO GET THESE SCOLOR-SHIPS IN ORDER TO GO TO COLLEGE. I SAY FOR THE SCHOOL TO DROP THIS, AND LET THE GIRL ATTEND HER GRADUATION AND WALK THAT STAGE, SHE EARNED IT!!!!!

what is her whole name ..

Good grief - if school staff spent HALF as much time teaching as they spend scrutinizing every student's outfit every day, EVERY kid could have a 4.4 GPA. This is ridiculous. Since when did shoulders become sex objects? If this girl was bending over and the shirt was gaping open maybe I could see A FEMALE teacher asking her to change her shirt for the day, but being called into a room alone with two male authority figures - one with a gun - is harassment and abuse. And not allowing her to attend her own well-earned graduation ceremony - I hope a judge throws that one under the bus real fast. Who ARE these principals who are so focused on the clothing that their female students wear these days - a bunch of Sharia-law converts?

This is a poorly-written article.

Schools need to chill the f out seriously. Trust me kids, in college no one CARES. I mean as long as it's not severely inappropriate. Jeeezzzz

Ouestion is what are her parents going to do? I don't feel as if the top was indecent. I am sure the student knew the dress code. Should she have duct taped her breast? What??

I think it was a combination of her shoulders and very noticeably large breasts, which everyone knows incites the barely contained animal passions of boys turning them into mindless rapacious beasts. Those who think, do and those who don't become secondary school principals.

I was in a public high school in the early 70s and the vice principal's name was "Colonel Parker". Retired military and we had to call him "Colonel". Same kind of controlling macho b******t.
