Our recent story about a Seminole, AL teen kicked out of a Pensacola prom for her leg-revealing designer dress is just a drop in the bucket of frocks deemed too provocative for prom.
Legs, cleavage and side and back skin, are the main enemies of the state of proper prom fashion.
And so are potentially incendiary signs of the south.
Dyer, Tenn. high school student Texanna Edwards wore a red, white and blue dress with a rebel flag print to the Gibson County High School prom and was promptly refused entrance.
According to a story in The Tennessean, a teacher warned Edwards two months before the prom to reconsider her choice of dress.
Eddie Pruett, the director of schools for the Gibson County area also said there have been race-related issues at Gibson County High and principal James believed the dress had the potential to exacerbate those issues.
"I feel like Hughes followed legal precedents set by other court cases. Students have legal rights, and we don't infringe upon those," Pruett said. "But we have to follow legal precedents, and if there is a reason to believe something could happen, we don't wait until after the fact to do something."
Back to dresses that supposedly show too much skin or draw too much attention to certain sexualized body parts.
One teen who was asked to leave a homeschool prom in Virginia because simple sparkly silver dress was too short was told by a chaperone that the sight of her dancing in that frock was bound to give the boys "impure thoughts."
