Teen ejected from prom after dads experience ‘impure thoughts’

Okay, so you have decided to believe every word this gal says. I find it hard to believe. Like even a very-very thin pancake, every story has two sides. One of the articles I read said that she was dancing inappropriately. THAT I can believe. No matter. Unlike girlie-girl, the chaperones and organizers of the dance have chosen to remain silent. But not for a MINUTE do I believe the woman involved said the fathers complained. I mean, think about it!!

I think the term "inappropriately" will be relative in this case. 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. It may be a bit of a stretch to presume that the inappropriate dancing is thus a certain style of dance, without any proof.

It's also a bit of a stretch to believe the teenager involved. Without any proof.
 
What are you confused about? She was home schooled. It was a home-school prom...organized by parents, not a school.

My misunderstanding. I had erroneously thought it was a public school. Sorry.

Don't you EVER-EVER-EVER!!!! make a mistake like that again. That NEVER happens here.

:rofl *hugs*

Good, because I haven't decided to believe any of it. As I implied, it could be that she was dancing provocatively, or it could be the men are pervs

It's not like men are never pervy.

I haven't seen any article that reports anything except what the girl said. And she did not say anything about her dancing inappropriately, What she did say is that Mrs D (the chaperone who also checked her dress *before* she even entered the prom) told her that she had complaints from the men who thought her dancing was causing them to have "impure thoughts"

Men do not have to see a girl dance inappropriately in order to have impure thoughts. As a man, I know that is not required.
 
I'm surprised that no rag is screaming that she was kicked out because her boyfriend is black (which he is).

Of course he is. Look at her ass. She's got the thickness. :2razz:


 
Of her story anyways (as others have mentioned it may not be 100% true), I have my doubts about it being the men who got her kicked out. It sounded like Mrs. D had issues with her from the beginning and probably looking for an excuse to kick her out. It is also possible that isn't the case and it was something else she isn't telling.

It isn't helped by the title, or how she made it sound like from the get go she (the girl kicked out) thought the male chaperones were there just to ogle and apparently talking among themselves must mean they are talking about who they want to bang if the girls were older (okay added the last part, but so what if they were talking with each other? I didn't realize people aren't allowed to talk anymore). Or the fact she apparently first posted on facebook about it being "rape culture" and in her post on her sisters blog it is also now "slut shaming." Reading her sister's blog, I'm not that surprised though. Yes her sister makes some good points now and then, but damn is she pretty over the top a lot of the time (my opinion).

I like how on the update post, either her or her sister add a link to a paypal you can donate to for her (the 17 year old) books for college. Give them credit for being smart about taking advantage of the situation even if I think it is also...can't think of a word here but I don't agree with doing it. The latest post the one running the blog leaves a small blurb at the end about how she'd like if someone paid for a ticket so she could go to her sisters graduation. Now considering she mentioned prior to all this having a tip jar, I suppose it is harsh to assume it is just to take advantage of the situation (the plane ticket).

EDIT: The dancing inappropriately thus causing impure thoughts, could also be the chaperones thought (or Mrs. D, etc.) that she was dancing inappropriately and the girl combined it with her thoughts the chaperones were there to ogle teen girls and whack off (...last part added by me) that it must be because they think she is too hot and get turned on by her. Which isn't out of the realm considering how she did go out of her way to let the reader know how hot she looked.

I think that is the most likely. It sounds like Mrs D is the instigator

I posted the link to the teen's sister's blog in Post #16. She wrote that the woman said that some of the men had expressed concern that the dancing might arouse impure thoughts IN THE TEEN BOYS.
 
This is sounding more and more like a case study in teen drama and media hype and misinformation.

We don't know much about what really happened (I mean maybe that wicked woman had it out for Cinderella), but somebody read the blog post too carelessly, ran with the story, and various outlets picked it up and repeated the sensationally incorrect dirty-old-men thing.
 
A suspiciously dramatic story about hypocritical Christians from a clearly biased anti-religious Far Left blog that cites no verifiable sources for its claims?

Yea... By chance, would any of you be interested in buying some swamp land in Florida? I know a guy who can get you a great deal. :lol:

Did you even bother to research and see if the story was available from other sources? Somethings tells meeeeeeeee .......... no.
 
Them dudes never been to the beach?

I guess not. You don't even have to go to the beach. Booty shorts will cause all kind of impure thoughts. At least they do in me. :lamo
 
You'll pardon me if I find myself disinclined to take a pissed-off teenagers' word for anything, without more solid evidence to back it up... especially when it sounds excessively dramatic on the face of it.

The only source they linked was some teenager's (obviously meant to be inflammatory, given the 'F*ck the Patriarchy' title) blog. Frankly, even then, they played up the drama pretty considerably.

As far as the credibility of the girl in question is concerned, I believe Goshin has already said pretty much everything that needs to be said here.

In all likelihood, the girl wasn't tossed out for any reason relating to her dress or the inappropriate sexual inclinations of the more "mature" men around her. She was probably simply getting out of hand with her dancing, asked to tone things down a bit by one of the chaperones as such, and then proceeded to make a defiant scene instead, which prompted her to be asked to leave.
 
Interesting. I didn't see that mentioned in the original article.

Well, let's see now. It was in the OP:

Despite wearing dress code-appropriate clothing to the Richmond Homeschool Prom, Clare Ettinger reports she was removed from the dance for homeschooled teens because she aroused “impure thoughts” in some of the adult male chaperones.

And it was in the linked article in the OP:

So, what did you read? My post? I mean I can see missing it . . . but after someone calls it to your attention, you still miss it? Have you been drinking Bloody Marys like me?? ;)

Nah, just sleep deprived and prone to skim. :lol:

That certainly does add an interesting element to the story, however. How out of hand can a person possibly get at a Homeschool prom?

Mine was rather tame, all things considered.

I don't think that necessarily means that the school had nothing to do with organizing the event. Home-schoolers often are involved in many activities at their local public school. I don't know who organized this prom, but it is possible that it was the school.

I found this quote from the girl, which makes it sound like the dress was still an issue even after she had shown the chaperone that it was in line with the rules. She also says that she wasn't dancing.

Homeschooled Girl Kicked Out of Prom Because of Leering Dads
She took me into a corner in the hall way, with another woman, (who I'm assuming was a parent/chaperone) and told me that some of the dads who were chaperoning had complained that my dancing was too provocative, and that I was going to cause the young men at the prom to think impure thoughts. At this point I said to her that I hadn't been dancing at all! Much less seductively... Then she proceeded to reiterate that my dress was too short and I that I was going to have to leave. I again showed her and the lady with her that the dress met dress code standards, the only thing the dress code said was it had to be fingertip length, and they never had us sign any sort of agreement to abide by that rule in the first place, and second of all my dress was in compliance with the one rule.
 
I guess not. You don't even have to go to the beach. Booty shorts will cause all kind of impure thoughts. At least they do in me. :lamo

Examples, please? ;)
 
Now the NBC article makes no mention of fathers supposedly leering at her.

Virginia Teen Says Dress Got Her Kicked Out of Prom

A 17-year-old girl said she was kicked out of her prom because some of the dads chaperoning the event for home-schooled teens thought her dancing would give the boys "impure thoughts."

Claire Ettinger of Richmond, Virginia, described the ordeal in a post that was published on her sister's blog on Monday.

"The whole situation made me feel violated, walked over and ostracized," Ettinger said in the post.

The night was off to a rough start on Sunday when a prom organizer purportedly criticized her for showing up in a dress that she argued was too short for the prom. Ettinger said in the blog post that her fitted, sparkly dress met her school's "fingertip length" dress code requirement. Still, the event organizer, described as Mrs. D, warned her to "make sure it stays pulled down."

Ettinger said she was amused to find that girls in the ballroom wore dresses much shorter than hers, but because they were shorter than her, their dresses weren't as controversial.

"I have long legs, everything looks short on me," she said she told the organizer.

Mrs. D later plucked Ettinger from the dance floor because "some of the dads who were chaperoning had complained that my dancing was too provocative," she said.




There's more at the link, but no mention of the fathers supposedly being perverts. Now it's the opposite - the fathers were not excited by her dancing, and instead were offended by it.

Virginia Teen Says Dress Got Her Kicked Out of Prom - NBC News

But of course that didn't stop the nutjobs on here from assuming that a bunch of fathers chaperoning a dance that their own children were attending were ogling at and leering at some little teenager.
 
A teen is being punished because a few 'dads' had impure thoughts? I don't think it would have mattered what the teen wore if these dads can't control their own impure thoughts.

Are women responsible for men's thoughts? That's a lot of control, if it is.

Perhaps the dads need to get some professional help to overcome their impure thoughts before they act on them with their own daughters. They're the ones that should have been 'ejected' for not controlling their own behavior.

WTF kind of a sick comment is that?
