Protecting His Daughter
Tony’s instinct was to protect his daughter, Demetra. There might have been more to the story that he was unaware of, and he swore that he would not give up until he discovered the truth. The father knew why her teenage girl was being singled out from the other students, but a part of him wished that the school was better than this.
He Wasn’t Satisfied
The school principal explained to the father that it was not just about how decent and modest the daughter was acting, but because the clothing was too short indeed. The outfit did not pass “the fingertip test,” according to the principal, and it was for this reason that Demetra should not wear it. Tony was unable to believe what he had heard and whether that was happening.
