Miranda Larkin, 15, was told by Oakleaf High School in Jacksonville, Florida, to put on a "shame suit" consisting of baggy red tracksuit pants and an oversized fluorescent tee with the words "dress code violation" across them after she wore a skirt shorter than school policy.

THE mother of a teenage schoolgirl is furious after her daughter was forced to wear a “shame suit” as punishment for accidentally wearing a shorter skirt to school.

After moving from Seattle to Florida, Miranda Larkin arrived on her third day at Oakleaf High School wearing a black skirt just four inches above her knees.

Miranda, 15, was unaware she had violated one of the school’s dress code rules, FirstCoastnews.com reports.

She was then sent to the school nurse who said she had to wear a long, fluoro yellow T-shirt with the words “DRESS CODE VIOLATION” written across her chest.

But that wasn’t all. Larkin was also forced to wear red tracksuit pants with the same words written on them.

Miranda recalled the humiliating moment when a teacher said: “She just points at me from across the hall, and says, ‘Your skirt is too short,’”.

“It was way too big. It didn’t fit,” she said.

“I got really upset and asked if I could call my mom. She was really upset, as well.”

Her mother, Dianna Larkin, said the outfit was humiliating, USA Today reports.

“She put on the outfit in the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror and just broke down. She started sobbing and broke out in hives,” Dianna said.

“I feel that by putting a kid in an outfit that says what they did wrong across their chest and down their leg is taking their private records and making them public and that’s a clear violation of their privacy rights.”

A Clay County School District representative said students who violate the dress code are given the option to stay in their clothes and go to in-school suspension, wear the sweats and T-shirt as punishment and go to class, or arrange for someone to bring them other clothes.

Miranda said she was only given one option at first.

She was able to leave school early and not face suspension.

Her mother said she would file a complaint with FERPA, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, for making her daughter’s discipline public.

The School Board’s lawyer said in a statement the dress code policy was deemed suitable.

“(The outfit) is not displaying a discipline record to the public,” the statement said.

“If we took off the words the other students would still know that the prison orange T-shirts were for dress code violations. I think that the practice is OK.”
