Once dressed, Demetra hurried to class. She lives in California, where it’s always hot, so she wore a simple dress with sneakers. Her school doesn’t enforce a uniform and you can wear whatever you want, as long as it’s reasonably modest, so not too revealing. Her blue dress received many compliments from her classmates, but from her teachers, not so much. They were quick to criticize her.
Demetra had never expected that her outfit would lead to a big argument between the school and her father. But that was exactly what happened on that hot summer day. Her comfortable blue dress was the topic of conversation at the school that day and Demetra felt ashamed when a teacher spoke to her about it.
