The father of a high school student in Kamloops, B.C., who was sent home for wearing what was deemed an inappropriate outfit, says the incident was absurd and should not have happened. Chris Wilson's daughter Karis Wilson, 17, was wearing a knee-length black dress with lace trim over a full-sleeved white turtleneck. Chris Wilson said her teacher pulled her out of class Tuesday and escorted her to the principal's office because of the outfit. "[Karis] was told that it could possibly make the male student teacher feel awkward and it could make [her female classroom teacher] feel awkward since it reminded her of a lingerie outfit," Chris Wilson said on CBC's Radio West. The school district told CBC News that it is aware of the situation, but has no comment on the event itself.
