The author was left outraged when his little girl informed him that she was ordered to cover up her dress, as school management found it to be ‘immoral’.
Taking to his social media channels to share the incident and his frustrations, Rouner wrote: “It’s not even the shirt they made her put on over her top, it’s the pants they made her wear underneath. It’s a full-length dress that she has to hold up to keep from getting wet in uncut grass. She even had a small set of shorts underneath because it was gym day.”
“But because the top part of her dress apparently exposed the immoral sinfulness of her bare shoulders she also had to pull on jeans, even though her legs remained completely covered as part of her punishment,” he added.
Rouner declined to name the school that his daughter attends, but he insisted that he will be bringing the incident up at the next parent-teacher meeting.
The author said, defiantly: “I don’t want her to just blindly accept things like this without understanding why, because there’s still a lot of fight left for her in this world", adding, “The next time the kid wants to wear her dress I’m going to let her.”
This isn’t the first story we’ve heard whereby schools have overreacted to their students’ dress. Let’s hope that Rouner gets some kind of satisfaction when he draws this up with management.
