Valyntyne Hale, 14, and her father are both Satanists.

Hale claims that she’s had multiple run-ins with school officials at Del Crest Middle School because of her unusual fashion choices.

According to Hale, one school official told Hale to remove a necklace that he referred to as a “dog collar.”

Hale has also been cited for wearing a skirt that was too short.

"The school is bound and determined to use any means necessary to try to convert her to Christianity," Hale's father told KFOR.

School officials released a statement regarding the skirt incident: "A student was asked to change her skirt today because the length of the skirt was deemed too short for the school dress code."
