Houston Teen Arrested for Skimpy Prom Dress - Marche Taylor,

Is there such a thing as a prom dress that's TOO revealing? According to a poll of most high school boys, the answer is no (technically the most popular answer was "hell no") but officials at Madison High School in Houston have a different standard. According to them, the custom made dress worn by senior Marche Taylor was too revealing an they refused to let her enter the prom. (At right, Marche Taylor in her banned dress.) At that point, Taylor demanded her money back and when that didn't happen, someone called the cops and before she knew it, the teen had traded in her limo for a squad car.
Here's more from The Dallas Morning News (link includes video clip in which Taylor admits that part of the problem may have been that she wasn't wearing any undergarments with the dress!):

Marche Taylor’s prom night experience wasn’t quite the norm. That’s because a night of dancing and hanging out with friends ended in a confrontation with school officials over her choice of apparel. The Madison High School senior was escorted out in handcuffs because school officials said her revealing gold dress was inappropriate for the school prom.
"I actually like the dress. Everybody else likes my dress,” Ms. Taylor said as she showed it off to a KHOU-TV reporter on Friday afternoon. Madison High's prom took place at the Sugar Land Marriott, but Ms. Taylor got only as far as the lobby. When she tried to enter the ballroom, she was told her outfit violated a school dress code. "She shook her head, she was like, 'You are not getting into this prom,'” Ms. Taylor said. “We were arguing back and forth because I wanted to know why I can't get into my prom.”
Even after offering to provide more cover, Ms. Taylor was denied access. So she demanded her money back. Eventually, Ms. Taylor said, someone called police. Officers showed up, handcuffed her and escorted her out. A photographer snapped a photo of Ms. Taylor, in handcuffs, being led out of the hotel.
Madison High School Principal Aubrey Todd said said the dress was inappropriate and violated the rules. “It was revealing in such a way that it would not be appropriate for a prom," said Mr. Todd, who stood by the school official who denied Ms. Taylor access to the event.

Teacher Quits After School Finds Picture of Him Removing Girl's Garter at Prom With His Teeth - Brett Coogle

Things get out of hand at the high school prom sometimes, which is why you need teacher chaperones there sometimes. But what happens when the chaperones need chaperones? Here's more from the Courier-Journal:

An English teacher at Western High School resigned Monday amid an investigation of an incident in which he allegedly removed a student’s garter with his teeth during the prom, a spokeswoman for the school system said today.
Lauren Roberts, public information officer with the Jefferson County Public Schools, said Western High Principal Louis Hughley Jr. had reassigned the teacher, Brett Coogle, to non-instructional duties on May 17.
Western’s prom was May 11.
“Some kids were passing around prom pictures, and a staff member saw a photo that raised some concern and showed it to the principal,” Roberts said. “The photo allegedly showed him removing a candy garter with his teeth from a female student during the prom.”
