“Shame suit” angers parents

Orange Park, Fla. — (WTLV) An Orange Park, Florida mother claims Oakleaf High School forced her daughter to swap her too-short skirt for what she calls a “shame suit.” On the third day of school she says her daughter unintentionally broke the school dress code, and the punishment was humiliating.

When 15-year-old Miranda Larkin went to school in a black skirt about three to four inches above her knees, she didn’t know she was in violation of Oakleaf High School’s dress code.

“She just points at me from across the hall, and says your skirt is too short.”

She says a teacher sent her to the school nurse who said she had to put on another outfit. It was a neon yellow t-shirt and bright red sweat pants with the words ‘DRESS CODE VIOLATION’ written across both.

Larkin just moved to Clay County from Seattle and was on her third day at a new school.
