As a candidate in America's Junior Miss scholarship competition, 18-year-old Lindsey Brinton didn't mince words while fielding a question about imposing a dress code at public school functions.

Yes, a modest dress code is appropriate, she said. "Modesty is something that is important to me."

The audience applauded her response.
