A Catholic high school in Pennsylvania is requiring female students who want to attend the school prom to submit a photo of their dress for pre-approval.
The policy of Delone Catholic High School in McSherrytown has angered parents and students ahead of the prom in May.
A photo of the prom dress has to be submitted before purchasing tickets.
A petition by parents was launched on Change.org against the pre-approval policy.
According to the policy, women’s gowns may not be extremely short, have an extremely low cut front or back, have any excessively high cut slits, have overly revealing midriffs, or be inappropriately revealing – giving the illusion of nudity.
The school’s said “fidelity to the Catholic identity of the school is the fundamental priority”.
