Social Media
When her story went viral, a mass of Facebook users visited the Richmond Homeschool Prom’s Facebook page. Their comments were far from friendly, rather they were critical and full of disgust.
The administrators were quick to delete the comments, and eventually, they decided to delete their page. Although the situation seemed to die down, there was one person who wasn’t ready to let it go.
Taking Sides
Clare once again took her feeling to her blog and posted, “The whole situation made me feel violated, walked over, and ostracized. How is it that what I look like and how I dress constitutes the level of respect you give me?”
The prom administrator, Mrs. Duncan, had a different story to tell, however. She insisted that things were not at all the way Clare claimed them to be. She even spoke to a news outlet about the situation.
