Mom Unloads On Principal After Her Daughter Is Sent Home For Violating School Dress Code

Mom Unloads On Principal After Her Daughter Is Sent Home For Violating School Dress Code
@khalesei_holt/TikTok

A mom of a 12-year-old at Ford Middle School in Washington State stood up for her daughter when the school sent her home over a dress code violation.

She posted the interactions to TikTok and it went viral.


Khalesei Holt, mother of three, was called to pick up her daughter in the middle of the school day for wearing high waisted sweatpants and a t-shirt. The mother explained she brought another shirt for her daughter to change into.

Yet she was still told to take her daughter out of school.

The first of several videos showed Holt recording someone in the office as they wait for her daughter to arrive.

The woman called security apparently because Holt was recording without her "permission."

In the second video, Holt was having a conversation with Principal Heather Renner.

The video started with Holt saying:

"I am done with it."
"I am recording for my protection."

Principal Renner responded by bringing up legal action.

"I am not giving you permission."
"That's what my attorney would say."
"You don't have permission to record us."

But Holt said she was still going to record regardless.

She tried to have her daughter return to class but Renner said "not right now."

Holt pointed the camera directly at Renner:

"So you're taking her education away over her dress code."

Principal Renner just walked out.

Holt continued:

"So the principal at Ford Middle School, yet again, over the dress code."
"She's not going to sit in the office, she's not going home."
"So who's going to send her back to class?"

There was a debate in the comments section about whether Holt was in the right or the wrong.

But ultimately most people agreed her daughter should have been able to go back to class.

In a follow up video, the mother talked to another school administrator who didn't have any good answers for her.

Even though Holt brought a change of clothes, her daughter was not allowed back in school that day.

The student handbook published online shows the dress code saying crop tops are not allowed, but commenters questioned if she was wearing a crop top or a t-shirt.

The discipline section of the handbook doesn't state a student would be removed from the school entirely for a dress code ruling.

Disciplinary actions only include changing clothes and conferences with parents and administration.

The handbook also states:

"We are committed to safe, academically oriented learning enivironment."
"Parents, we thank you for your assistance in heloing your children learn to make wise choices about their school attire."
"Our goal is to educate students and support families."

This series of videos seems to prove otherwise.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
