Quote

"I just want them to understand that they were wrong and this was a decision that was made by a personal opinion. I want to speak for everybody else who has been discriminated against but has never said anything. I want them to apologize and let them know that this day and age, a woman has a right to wear what she wants."—Kymberly Clem
