A teenager and her mother have spoken out against her Arkansas junior high school after administrators made the girl remove her T-shirt that said "Virginity Rocks," KFSM reported.
Chloe Rubiano, an eighth grader at Fayetteville's Ramay Junior High School, was ordered to change her "Virginity Rocks" shirt when she wore it last Thursday because it was improper.
But the teenager doesn't understand why the shirt, one of her favorites, was inappropriate. She's worn it to other schools after purchasing it at a Christian festival.
"I just really like the shirt because I was always raised that way," Rubiano told KFSM. "I didn't really think anyone would make a big deal out of it."
Everything was fine until she was called into the vice principal's office at school. She was told to remove the T-shirt and had to wear a school gym shirt for the rest of the day.
" 'I love the shirt and I agree with it. But, I just don't think it is acceptable for school,' " the vice principal said to Rubiano, she told KWCH 12.
"It opens up too many doors for conversations,' " the vice principle reportedly said.
Bambi Crozier, Rubiano's mother, was equally surprised by the school's reaction.
"It represents what she believes," Crozier told KFSM. "I'm very thankful that Chloe has this belief."
Fayetteville School District told the station the dress code prohibits students from wearing clothing that causes a distraction.
Rubiano said she will still wear her beloved T-shirt, but knows not to wear it to school again.
