Are some prom dresses too risque?

| Marche Taylor’s prom dress was deemed too revealing. |
A Houston teen’s choice of prom attire landed her in cuffs instead of wrist corsages. SEE THE DRESS in this video.
Marche Taylor, a student at Madison High School, tried to attend her prom at a Marriott hotel wearing a custom-made gold, midriff-baring mini-halter dress. School officials deemed the frock way too revealing and said that it violated a school dress code.
“I actually like the dress. Everybody else likes my dress,” Taylor told a KHOU-TV reporter. She said friends tried to make quick adjustments to the dress but she was still denied access.
She demanded her money back and at some point the police were called.
It’s unusual for police to intercept a prom-goer, but this time of year the internet is usually filled photos of risque and downright weird prom outfits.
Was it the right decision to deny Taylor access to the prom? Should police have been called?
