A Utah teenagers dress worn to a school dance over the weekend got the cold shoulder from administrators, who forced the girl to wear a winter coat to cover up her bare arms.
Gabi Finlayson, 15, a student at Lone Peak High School in Highland, showed up at the Preference Dance last Saturday wearing a delicate pink lace gown with a high neck and a full maxi skirt.
However, the teenager was found to be in violation of the school's strict dress code because her shoulders and arms were exposed.
Yeah.'Somehow my shoulders are sexualized,' Finlayson said. 'Like it's my responsibility to make sure the boys’ thoughts are not unclean.'
LOL wtf. because her shoulders and arms were bare? this was bad? holy fuck that dress is tame compared to ones i have seen.
Well - it is expressly against the dress code. See #7

Its a damn shame they made it so hard to find. I mean a link on their main page that says 'Dress Code'?! That would require reading! Won't someone think of the poor children who would be scared for life if they were forced to follow a rule?
The young woman said she came away feeling angry and humiliated after being forced to wear a coat over her conservative dress for the entire duration of the party.
Gabi's mother, Kristy Maxfield Kimball, has come out in support of her daughter accusing the school of sexualizing young girls and sending them a negative message that they should be ashamed of their bodies.
Oh well in that case just go ahead and ignore the rules and think there won't be consequences. I am sure that will work out well for you in your adult life.
Clueless mother. I've chaperoned HS dances and and, believe me, students will be doing their own sexualizing.

Really? This happening in Mormon-heavy Utah is shocking to you?
not touching this one. see ya!
Wonder what the women's track and basketball teams wear. Anyone complaining there?
I just find it silly how worked up both sides get. Yes it's in the rules. But they are silly. Ok it's in the rules, put on on a throwover sweater and STFU already.
If you want the rules changed, get it on the agenda at the PTO events and take it through the conventional channels to address policy.
