WTH, You can't wear a dress to school?

[mav1234]

Schools can't prohibit you from "expressing yourself" so theoretically you could wear a dress to school, or a swastika, or anything if you want. But they can suspend you for disrupting school. Wearing a dress or wearing or swastika or things like that will cause a disruption in the school and he probably got suspended for like 3 or 5 days since the school year was probably close to being over wherever he is it just made the story worse to say he was suspended "for the year." And when you're suspended you can't participate in any school activities so you can't go to dances, sports events or field trips.

The kid wore the dress to get attention. His mom bet him he couldn't wear heels, he could have worn the heels on the weekend to the mall or whatever the poo he does, but he chose to wear them to school where he knew they would cause a commotion. And he didn't just stop at the heels he through on a full dress. This kid was just being a douche, and not he's not only a douche but he's gonna be a douche thats laughed at for the next three year...and still can't go to wild waves...

The fact you equate wearing a swastika on your arm to wearing a dress is troubling to me, but I suppose that is best left for a thread in a different forum.

He may have been doing it for attention but hell, who really cares? The school district certainly gave him what he wanted if attention was his goal. Kids do things for shock value all the time, and most of them are completely harmless... A decent teacher isn't going to lose a classroom of students to a kid in a dress, and most students aren't going to be completely unable to focus just because one of their classmates is in a dress. I certainly went to school with people who routinely were dressed in a fashion that was a bit stranger than a dress every day, and it didn't cause classroom issues.

As to if the kid is going to get laughed at for a long time, it's going to be more about who he is than the fact he wore a dress. I have known a handful of guys that wore dresses to high school for shock value and it hardly mattered, because the school I was in got a brief kick out of it and that was that. If he gets laughed at for 3 years, he woulda gotten laughed at for something else anyway.

edit: Okay, here's the rest of the story. The kid got lippy which is why he was suspended:

It also sounds like the days he was suspended happened to fall on the days the trips were. Glad to see it was because of his attitude and not because of the dress.

So 15-year-old Saurs, of Port Orchard, not only wore a pair of spiky pumps to school, but a flowy, low-cut dress and make-up. He said he felt "pretty" that day, but the dean at Sedgwick Junior High School told him he was a distraction and to go home, Q13 Fox News reported.

That prompted Saurs to tell the dean he was being sexist, the station said. That led to the boy's suspension for the rest of the school year, KING 5 reported. It was later reduced to three days.

haha, "You're sexist!" "Well, you're suspended. For the rest of the year." oh high school...

also turns out this wasn't a first suspension, and this kid is big on "shock" value... wearing makeup and hats.

His mother, Ivanna Leible, said she did not complain about the suspension since the school does have a ban on hats, but she said there is no rule against boys wearing dresses in the student handbook.

sounds like he used a dare with his mother as an excuse to be strange. :P
