Public Outrage
A lot of angry people went to the Richmond Homeschool Prom Facebook page to show their disgust at what happened. The page has since been deleted. “The whole situation made me feel violated, walked over, and ostracized,” Clare said in a blog post. “How is it that what I look like and how I dress constitutes the level of respect you give me?” Mrs. Duncan told her side when she spoke to CBS News.

According to her, the dress was the right length when the young girl got there, but the spandex fabric made it ride up. Mrs. Duncan told WTVR, “It was right below her butt cheeks by the time I saw her.” She did not see Clare dancing but said the comments about the dads staring at her was unlikely. “It was very crowded,” she said. “There were 500 kids there, so to be able to even say what they were looking at would be really difficult.” Clare stands behind her blog post, however, and released a video in response.
