Girl ejected from Prom for not wearing a dress.

[jaF0]

A Pennsylvania high school senior says she was thrown out of her Catholic school's prom for wearing a tuxedo.

Aniya Wolf told ABC's Harrisburg affiliate WHTM that a Bishop McDevitt High School official took her by the arm and told her she was going to call police after she saw Wolf's attire, so Wolf left the Friday night event.

“I think my experience shouldn’t be any different than anyone else’s because of something I was born with," Wolf said after leaving the event in a three-piece suit and a bow tie. Wolf is a lesbian who doesn't like to wear "girly" clothes, WHTM reported. “I was always more masculine," she said.

This is clear gender discrimination regardless of her preferences.

I'm curious if she went to other dances dressed in manly attire. You'd think the Catholic school would be prepared for this.

She blew a great opportunity to meet Obama saying she was a lesbian and not transgendered. Obama is probably more disappointed #Missedopportunity.

Of course it is. That said it's a Catholic School and therefore almost certainly private. They could require the women come dressed in suits of armor and the men like Conan the Barbarian and the correct response from the public as a whole should be 'meh.'

The prom dress was ejected...



oh yeah

 

[someoneyouknow]

This was in my local area. I didn't read the link but according to the school they sent out letters to all parents and students indicating girls must wear appropriate prom dresses:

It's a Catholic school......they can hate on gay folks as much as they want.

At the very worst pull any gov funding they might be getting.

Otherwise as much as I'm for non discrimination policy in the public sector, I'm all for letting haters hate all they want in private clubs/schools/organizations/churches whatever and the government minding their own fuckin' bidniz about it.

For the record, here is a slideshow of what other students wore at the same prom:

Which is gender bias.

I wonder if the school receives vouchers?

That's right. If you want to attend Prom you must accept the biases of the host. You must acknowledge the Prom King and Queen, and their attendant elites. You must observe the strict dress and conduct codes. You must remain on the premises unless chaperoned. Sounds just like Tsarist Russia.

 

[Sean Renaud]

Which they still have every right to command. Don't like it? There are public schools that cannot turn you away.

Private school. Non-story.

I hate on them anyway, its in the 1st Amendment.

^^^^^Thrown out for poor grooming and BO.

I remember when Brenda M. got sent home from school for showing her belly button. Grade 7-8 1974

I've gone to nice restaurants that require that require men in ties and coats and women in dresses. Which gender discrimination am I supposed to get outraged about?

Now that I think about it life's to short to be outraged about all the things I'm supposed to be outraged about.

 

[Real_American17]

Stupid tranny, knew she was breaking the dress code.

School should sue her parents.

What do you know about prom? You never went. (Or finished high school, for that matter.)

 

[jezzilee]

If there is a dress code, there is a dress code. I am sick to death of everything becoming a dramatic event.

 

[MrRandyWatson]

Meh, prom is stupid anyway. A bunch of immature high school fuckwits dressing up like mannequins and making stupid decisions after curfew for any of them with sensible parents. I never went to prom and don't regret my decision to skip it, and when my son is old enough to go to prom, neither will he.

You never got to be the "elites" did you. Never got to be in the "in" crowd. Never part of the uppity "cliques" I got there because I tried to join. The really sad news is we didn't keep you out you were afraid to try and became resentful of people you didn't even know.

I suspect you are in a clique now and don't even know it. The people on the outside assume you don't want them.

Both. But for the moment probably more so the women. The reality is that women in pantsuits is generally considered appropriate for business and should be fair game for anything other than a wet t-shirt context. In which case she's clearly missing the point.

You missed my point. I've run all out of outrage. Everywhere I turn some new outrage has happen and I supposed to join in. Someone breaks the dress code? It's not going to be an issue for me. Life can be hard but mostly it's inconvenient. Deal with it and choose your battles wisely.

Oh, I'm not outraged by most things and I generally avoid battles unless they are vital. Doesn't mean that x,y,z isn't a problem. I'm happy to let people know that I support them (or in this case don't.) on a given cause.
