High school student Stephanie Hughes sent home for outfit showing her collarbone

THIS outfit is offensive to a high school in Kentucky.

Stephanie Hughes was sent home from Woodford County High School in the city of Versailles when she wore a crème tank top with a white cardigan as it left her collarbone on show.

Hughes's mother Stacie Dunn posted the 'offending” outfit on her Facebook page after being told her daughter's clothes would distract the males in her classes.

'I had to come to the school because according to her school principal what she is wearing is out of dress code and inappropriate for school,” Dunn wrote.

'When I got there I found a group of female students standing in the office due to being out of dress code also. This is ridiculous! Woodford County High School and the principle (sic) have been enforcing a dress code where as girls can not show even there (sic) collar bones because it may distract their male class mates. This is ridiculous! Parents are being called away from their important jobs and students are missing important class time because they are showing their collarbones! Something needs to change!”

Steph's mom then bought her a scarf to cover the collarbone but she was sent home again.

'So steph got sent home from school for giving the principal an attitude when he told her the scarf I brought her to cover up with was still inappropriate and she needed to fix it! What did he want her to tie it like a noose around her neck!!!!”

The school's dress code was highlighted earlier this year when Maggie Sunseri, now a junior at Woodford, produced a documentary called Shame: A Documentary on School Dress Code. 'Telling young girls to cover up because it creates a distracting leaing environment for boys is the entirely wrong message to send,” Maggie told the Herald-Leader.
