Understandably, Clare tried to defend herself. She explained to Mrs. Duncan that she had yet to even hit the dance floor with her friends before once again showing her that her dress complied with the dress code. “I never signed any documentation agreeing to adhere to any sort of dress code, and the dress code that was verbally communicated to me was followed to the letter,” Clare stated. Her friends ran to her aid, confirming their lack of movement but Mrs. Duncan wouldn’t listen and snapped right back saying “it was none of their business.” That was the last straw for James.
