School turns girls away from dance because knees = porn (obviously)

10/3/2012

Why did Stansbury High School turn dozens of girls away from the homecoming dance on Saturday? For spiking the punch bowl? For wilding out? Nope, for wearing dresses that — GASP! — showed their knees. The Utah school even told the homecoming queen that she'd need to put a pair of leggings on if she wanted to get in. "Here we are spending all this time … and then we get there and they just turn us away," student Amber Hesleph says. "It's just kind of depressing." The school acknowledged that its dress code, which says dresses have to be "at or near knee length," is ambiguous. After apologizing to the students, administrators said they would hold a "replacement dance." [Source]
