Students Stage Walkout Over Homecoming-Dance Dress Code

The most coveted unique homecoming dresses 2015 for school dances in 2010 show some skin. Cutouts, sheer paneling, high leg slits, short hemlines, and strapless tops are are just some of the popular styles that students are wearing. But showing up in one of these types of dresses meant that some students weren’t allowed into Bingham High School’s homecoming dance. On Weekend night, about a 12 students were rejected entry into the dance at the South Jordan, Utah, school. While officials gave the girls who were wearing dress-code-breaking outfits the option to change clothes or put on a sweater, a few decided not to attend at all.

Then, on Friday, with school in session, some of the teenagers still upset by the weekend’s incident staged a protest and were joined by 100 of their peers.

She also donned the dress to school on Friday to produce a statement. “I understand having a dress code for a learning experience, ” she told local news station Fox 13. “But in regards down to a dance, that’s our time to be recognised for being good students, and we should be able to express ourselves. ” The dress code, which was relayed to students weeks before the dance, stated that dresses should cover the chest and back at the top of the armpit, and hemlines shouldn’t rise higher than midthigh when sitting. The school could not be reached for comment.
