Teen ejected from prom after dads experience ‘impure thoughts’

1) That's just what the teen accuses. 2) Sorry if I find the word of a teenager who was kicked out of a dance to be highly suspicious. 3) For all we know she was acting like a brat or something and ruining everyone's night. 4) For all we know it didn't happen at all - or that one woman had a serious issues and made that all up (I don't trust adults, either). 5) The LAST THING I think actually happened was a bunch of dads walked up to some woman and said "See that girl - I want to **** her" - like they're some sort of pedophiles. 6) Men don't go around announcing that crap. 7) I'd be stunned as hell if that REALLY happened 8) the way she accuses and men actually voiced that. 9) Total BS to me.

1) Without that, there wouldn't be a story to report...obviously.

2) No need to be sorry. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

3) Who is "we?"

4) Posting an article assumes there will be different perspectives.

5) Speculation, assumptions and hearsay. Unfortunately, the article is one sided but lack of any replies from the parents sponsoring the event is also highly suspicious.

6) Sez who? I can anecdotally say I've heard married men talk about teen females in a sexual manner but that in itself, proves nothing.

7) I wouldn't.

8) I had already stated that the 17 year old posted a hyperbolic rant in a bog. It was not a concise report. I also stated the news services that picked up on the blog did not vet the story. None the less, the incident, as posted, is very plausable.

9) I can respect that.
 
That's a good point. Did she actually say the dads said something to her though? Or did she see them or overhear them talking?

As an aside, I don't really know which side to believe. It could have happened either way, and both are plausible IMO. It would be interesting to hear from other teens who were there and what they have to say, as well as dads themselves and other chaperones.

It was a dance for homeschoolers. Maybe one of the dads asked the teen to be his third sister-wife.
 
. It could have happened either way, and both are plausible IMO. .

Instead oflooking at it as either/or, why not be more sensible,instead,and realize that the truth almost cerainly lies somewhere between?

Oh :lamo That was terrible!

That's another possibility of course! :)

Earlier in this thread there are links to the opinions of other teens who were there. The thing is that the OP's source got it all wrong. Important to read what the teen in question actually posted on her sister's blog rather than to take a face-value what the OP source said.

I did read it. I don't see your point. The teen makes all kinds of claims. None of these things prove anything though. It's a he said/she said situation really, and it probably depends entirely on who's viewpoint you might agree with. What one person considers provocative, another person may not. That's another thing to keep in mind.

I was responding to your saying, "It would be interesting to hear from other teens who were there and what they have to say...." My point was that other teens who were there have commented.

Well, I didn't read those, but I did read the blog post from the teen herself and her claims. I'll have to look for the comments later.
 
What are you confused about? She was home schooled. It was a home-school prom...organized by parents, not a school.

This!

It's a private event, not public. Arbitrary rules may be applied.

Probably the most important point is that the teenager herself on her sister's blog never said that the fathers had impure thoughts; she wrote that the female chaperone had said that some of the men had expressed concern that the dancing might arouse impure thoughts IN THE TEEN BOYS.

There are probably other links on this thread, but here is coyotedelmar's Post #135, which has two links: http://www.debatepolitics.com/break...rience-impure-thoughts-14.html#post1063279325

Sounds like the bigger issue is in the home life. The teen's, who got the boot, reaction is more concerning to me. Even if my child felt they were wronged they know better than to show disrespect to adult by profanity, rude gestures and name calling online
 
This!

A private event only means that you get to make and enforce the rules (within legal bounds, of course). Being private does not automatically give legitimacy or credibility to said rules. They still have to stand up to scrutiny on their own for that.

I don't think we disagree. They are certainly open to criticism.

My point is that civil protections don't apply here. They could have bounced the girl for any reason at all and apart from the cost of the ticket, she's got nothing to base a legal claim on.

But that didn't stop half of the people in this thread from making false accusations against the fathers.

There are so many comments out now about what really happened at that prom, and none of them match the story the teen told. No surprise.

Here is what another teenager said about prom in her (linked earlier) blog post:

"I would also like to briefly address the misconception that, as homeschool parents, they are required to put on prom. Prom is not a right owed to us, it is a privilege. As homeschoolers we often lose chances to participate in activities that students at public a private school enjoy, such as prom and sports teams. Our opportunity to attend prom comes directly from the parents that choose to invest their time and money so we can enjoy a special event."
 
She's hawt!111!1!!11!!

If not for the potential of impure thoughts, my wife would never get me out of the house.

Edit: If the young lass skipped over to me and said "I just love gray hair. I can see "us" spending a lot more time together in the future", I'd have a heart attack and die on the spot, which would keep me from having to see my wife tear her limb from limb.

So a volunteer came out and gave their side of the story and Claire finally went on camera (a youtube video but still)
Prom chaperone speaks out after teen says she was booted for dress that caused boys to think

(Using it as it has both videos)

So apparently the dads weren't perverts, she was just uncomfortable with how many were there, and that they weren't doing anything. That they complained about her dancing, meant they were watching her ( Never went to dances but I'd assume chaperones don't wander about blindfolded, dare they watch anything happening at the dance!) By the way, that seems like she admits she was dancing then? Oh and the focus shouldn't be on the Dad's, hell even some of them are great! (...so why say they were ogling you, and then in the video say having them there made you uncomfortable?).

So from what I gathered of the rest of the video, the issue is that she got kicked out for the dress and by having dress code rules, it was promoting slut shaming and rape culture and part of the purity culture (or something). Which, correct me if I'm wrong, sounds like she stretched the truth in some cases and lied in others.

Oh love this from her sisters blog:
Modesty standards do not hold the same social weight as your average dress code. Which is why a homeschool dad would feel himself legitimately entitled to comment on a girl’s outfit at such an event.
Clare responds + some context | Wine & Marble

Erm...what do you think a dress code is? Maybe I'm not understanding but I'm pretty sure most dress codes could use the word modesty standard as well and it mean the same thing. Why can't a male be allowed to comment on an outfit they think may be violating said code anyways? Can the mom's not feel entitled to comment on a boy's outfit then as well? Probably get a bit of heat for saying this, but that seems to explain why Claire just might assume dads watching a dance=ogling.


To go off-topic and less serious, why does it (not sure if it is the site of chrome, or both) say chaperones should be chaperons?

Snipping your post to capture the most important part of it.

It was sick that anyone accused them of being perverts in the first place, right on down to suggesting they may need help before they act out their fantasies on their own daughters.
 
They probably won't tell you if it was "twerking" or any other grinding, so what the dance supposedly was is in the eye of the beholder.

Those poor fellows were just trying to stay clean.
That filthy vixen had it coming...
 
So's spreading your legs and masturbating to the beat, but that doesn't mean it belongs, in its purest form, at a prom. Usually a gentleman's club.


Sounds like my kind of prom!

Meh. I believe her.
