FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — An Arkansas junior high school asked a student to change her t-shirt at school this week because it violated the school’s dress code policy.

The t-shirt in question has the words “Virginity Rocks” on the front.

“It is one of my favorite shirts,” 8th grader Chloe Rubiano told 5NEWS.

Rubiano told 5NEWS she wore the shirt plenty of times at former schools. However, staff members at Ramay Junior High said the shirt had sexual content on it.

Rubiano said her vice principal told her that the shirt could disrupt the classroom environment, with the possibility that it “opens up too many doors for conversations.”

Chloe’s mother, Bambi Crozier, said she was surprised by the school’s decision.

“This is part of sex (education) to me. Virginity is where you need to be,” Crozier said.

Crozier said she found the shirt to be bold, but appropriate.

“It represents what she believes,” Crozier told the station.

Rubiano was asked to change into a school-issued gym shirt for the remainder of the day on Thursday. She said she will still wear the “Virginity Rocks” shirt in public.

However, she said she has decided to not wear it at school again.

“She needs to respect the wishes that the leadership has. And, she will. She’s a good kid,” Crozier said.
