LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A high school administrator who allegedly lifted the skirts of teen girls at a dance to make sure they were not wearing skimpy thong panties was put on leave, but furious parents said they would not be satisfied until she was fired.
Rita Wilson, a vice principal at Rancho Bernardo High School in suburban San Diego, was placed on administrative leave pending an investigation, officials there said.
"She needs to be fired," mother Alane Garvik said. "And if they don't fire her I'm willing to file a lawsuit. My daughter has already told me she doesn't want to go back to Rancho Bernardo if (Wilson) is still there." "She feels violated," Garvik said. "She feels like somebody was messing with her private parts. All those boys there seeing her butt and her thong."
Garvik said among the few girls who escaped a panty inspection were those who were overweight.
"They said: 'You are overweight so I wouldn't expect you to be wearing something like (thong panties)," Garvik said. "One girl was told she was 'matronly' and since she was 'matronly' they didn't expect her to be wearing something like that."
Other parents said girls were made to partially disrobe if Wilson or another teacher suspected they weren't wearing bras.
