At first I thought this story was fake because we all know homeschooled children don’t have nice asses, dance skills, or friends but it turns out I was wrong. This story is in fact true.
According to Gawker.com, 17-year-old girl high school senior Clare Ettinger, 17, was kicked out of her Richmond, VA home school prom because “horny dads” couldn’t stop staring at her short dress and badass dance moves.
Upon entering the prom, a chaperone had voiced her concerns about Clare’s dress but no action was taken until she hit the dance floor and started to let loose.
Clare explains that she and her friends were just “swaying with the music and talking and enjoying ourselves” but the original chaperone who had complained about Clare’s dress pulled her aside to tell her that some of the dads felt her dancing was “too provocative” and liable to cause “impure thoughts.” She was kicked out of the dance, and her friends decided to go with her.
Clare claims the group of dads were “ogling and talking amongst themselves” while watching her dance from a balcony above the dance floor. She reportedly said: “I’m not responsible for some perverted 45-year-old dad lusting after me because I have a sparkly dress on and a big ass for a teenager.”
I called my own parents to get their opinion on the story.
My dad, Barry Miller said, “ What are you going to do? Unless there is some part of the story that’s missing here, I tend to agree with her. These guys get married at 25 and most middle age people are so locked up for years that when they get out in public they are almost out of control. They just don’t get out much and can’t control themselves. They need to chill out and get over it.“
I called my mom next and after a heated discussion about why I decided to call dad first, she gave her opinion on the story, “I think that’s… well I haven’t seen the dress or the dance moves but I would think that would be discrimination. If the dads were looking at her, they should have kicked the dads out and let the girl stay.”
The dance organizers said they would refund the girl’s tickets for leaving, but even though she got a refund she’s still clearly upset. Clare took the issue to the Richmond high school prom Facebook page (which has since been taken down by the administration). Her public posts included “refund my group as they verbally promised to do, and issue an apology for kicking me out of my senior prom because their husbands felt as though my body was something they had a right to control.”
Clare I want you to know that I support the size of your ass and would like to make a formal suggestion: This week while you’re home, being home schooled and not doing any actual work, use your time wisely. You put on that dress, invite over your imaginary friends, and make a youtube video of yourself bumping and grinding. This way you get revenge, and all those ‘ married at 25 lock up middle age daddies’ can enjoy your attire choices from the comfort of their own homes.
