A 5-year-old was forced to change from a sundress to jeans and a t-shirt after Cy-Fair Independent Scholl District officials decided that showing her shoulders was “immoral”. They also objected to her ankles showing as well.
The un-identified Cy-Fair school is a public school located in Northwest Houston.
Jef Rouner, father of the little girl an a writer for the Houston Press, bought the rainbow color spaghetti strap dress for his five year old daughter a few weeks back. She had already worn it to church, without objection, and since it was warm, she wanted to wear it to school.
Her father had no problem with the choice or his daughters fashion style. That was before she got to school. But a teacher or principal saw the dress, and brought her to the office and made her “cover up” all the skin that was showing. Rouner wrote in the Houston Press:
You know what really grills my cheese about it? 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.
The father in Rouner was outraged that a five-year-old could be punished for something so seemingly innocent. His story in the Houston Press continued: “I didn’t pick up my daughter’s dress at ‘My First Stripperwear’. It’s not repurposed fetish gear from a store for very short people. It’s a dress from a mall chain store in her size. It covers everything but her shoulders and a small section of her upper chest and back. She’s worn it to church, and in the growing heat she was looking forward to wearing it a lot because it’s light and comfortable.”
