Catholic school to hand out ‘modesty ponchos’ to girls at prom wearing ‘revealing’ dresses

Dearborn Catholic high school in Michigan has a warning for its girl students — "If your dress does not meet our formal dance dress requirements — no problem! We’ve got you covered — literally. This is our Modesty Poncho, which you’ll be given at the door."

From Patheos:

The theology teacher who came up with this idea, Mary Pat O’Malley, insists her motivation is pure: "We are trying to focus on the inner beauty and not draw attention to something that doesn’t need attention drawn to it…"

Aunt Lydia would be proud.
