Mom Confronts Principal For Sending Her 12-Year-Old Daughter Home Due To Dress Code Violation Video Goes Viral

Rokas Laurinavičius and
Ilona Baliūnaitė
Recently, school dress code controversies have been pitting people against each other, questioning whether the rules are discriminating against girls. In one of the latest stories, Khalesei Holt, a mother of a 12-year-old, recorded a TikTok of herself arguing with a Washington middle school principal over her daughter's clothes. The conflict immediately reignited online discussions over the role the education system should play in regulating students' appearance. The video has garnered 9.3 million views since going up just before the weekend. It captures the conversation that the mother of three girls (according to her TikTok bio) had with the principal of Ford Middle School in Tacoma, and the on-screen caption declares that the girl was sent home for a dress code violation "at 12 years old."

A 12-year-old from Washington got kicked out of class for violating the dress code

But her mom refused to accept it

@khalesei_holt♬ original sound – Khalesei holt At the beginning of the video, the TikToker can be heard saying, "So I am done with it" and asserting that she is recording for her own protection. However, the principal says that the mother doesn't have her permission to film and mentions attorneys. The 12-year-old, wearing a T-shirt and what appeared to be yoga pants, briefly enters the screen as the TikToker is saying, "But she's still going to go to class." At this point, it is still unclear if the outfit the student is wearing in the video is the one that got her in trouble in the first place. "Not right now," the principal replies. "So you're taking her education away over her dress code?" the TikToker says but doesn't receive another response as the principal leaves the room. "So, the principal's walking away at Ford Middle School yet again over the dress code," the mother adds.

She went to the principal

But the lady wouldn t listen

One analogy I like is that: if your house doesn't have the most technologically advanced security system and can be broken into with a few steps, does that mean if a robber breaks into it, they aren't committing a crime because you're asking for it? Are we allowed to punch someone in the face because since they weren't wearing any protective helmet, they were basically asking for it and we can get away scot free? NO - so there's no reason for boys and teachers to act like uncivilised beasts. ALSO, if schools are so concerned with dress codes, why not just implement uniforms?

Most of it is for health and safety (no slippers/flip flops, nothing so oversized that it hampers movement or catches on equipment and so on) but female students are not allowed to wear X,Y and Z whereas the male students can. I tried to raise the issue of gender equality with her and she just shut me down. "Girls shouldn't wear revealing clothing in case a man looks at them". We're talking 5-11 year olds. If an ADULT finds a CHILD's body distracting or whatever then we need to look at the ADULT as well. If you're disturbed by shoulders, legs, midriffs, etc on literal children MAYBE DON'T BE IN A JOB AROUND CHILDREN. 32 32points reply S. S.

So it may not be misogynists downvoting the person. Maybe people don't like it when others jump to conclusions. 0 0points reply John Baker John Baker Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Pointing fingers and crying "misogynist!" is the BP "feminists'" go-to tactic when anyone dares to disagree with them. They can't help themselves. It's where their minds automatically go and they're incapable of stopping it. They just aren't getting that this isn't about what the kid was wearing. It's about her - and her entitled mother - apparently thinking she should get away with breaking the rules. 0 0points reply Ell Torn Ell Torn Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago This comment is hidden.

Including you 11 11points reply Ell Torn Ell Torn Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago "Gaslighting" can be used informally to describe someone who persistently puts forth a false narrative. Keep going though. 1 1point reply Abhinc Abhinc Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago (edited) well ... maybe these people could argue and express opinions in a respectful conversation instead of just downvoting ... not that i really care but it would be so much more interesting and useful. but it's obviously to much to ask in this case 0 0points reply Troux Troux Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 1 year ago Pot 'n kettle, mate. 3 3points reply Abhinc Abhinc Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago This comment is hidden.

Sa Ruuu Sa Ruuu Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago That's a great way to shame young girls growing up. Maybe if male teachers wouldn't get excited by seeing a young girls midriff or bare shoulder, dress codes wouldn't be so ridiculous -3 -3points reply ejfs ejfs Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago My mother works at a school which has a dress code. Most of it is for health and safety (no slippers/flip flops, nothing so oversized that it hampers movement or catches on equipment and so on) but female students are not allowed to wear X,Y and Z whereas the male students can. I tried to raise the issue of gender equality with her and she just shut me down. "Girls shouldn't wear revealing clothing in case a man looks at them". We're talking 5-11 year olds. If an ADULT finds a CHILD's body distracting or whatever then we need to look at the ADULT as well. If you're disturbed by shoulders, legs, midriffs, etc on literal children MAYBE DON'T BE IN A JOB AROUND CHILDREN. 32 32points reply S. S. Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 1 year ago EXACTLY - Really a shame how these sorts of ridiculous dress codes systems makes it easier to not only perpetuate sexism, but also for pedophilia to exist. Who in their right minds would be that concerned with the shoulders of a KID? Not even a teenager, but literal kiddos. Makes me shudder. 12 12points reply Load More Replies...
