Before anyone(especially Priz) replies to this allow me to go on record as saying that my last name is not Logan , Gary is on the other end of the state from where I live , and I look absolutelyhorrid in fuschia . I'm also more than twice as old as the kid in this story , so let's not let the "I" word confuse anyone .

Now , dress code violation or gay discrimination ?

Your thoughts ?

At my school, it would have been a health hazard.

I think if the school administrators feel someone's style of dress disrupts the learning enviornment in the classroom or crosses the line, then it is their call to make.

School activities are not the place to make political statments.

EXACTLY what I was thinkin NT, why was this fag "allowed" to even show up everyday in dresses and with makeup on? If that would've been some "dudette" in my school back in the day, he woulda been in the hospital by prom.

We had one of those a couple grades behind me. He tried pulling a similar stunt one day, and wound up headbutting a bunch of people's fists.[8D]

From a legal stand point they were wrong in banning him, they set a precedent when they allowed him to attend school dressed as a girl then they turn around and tell him he can not come to the Prom dressed as a girl? That makes no sense to me.

Now if they had told him he could not dress as a girl at school then they would have a leg to stand on, but they didn't!

BTW when I was in school he would have dressed as a girl one time, but times were different then.

Wearing a dress to the prom does not disrupt the learning experience. For crying out loud, it's the end of the school year anyway.

I agree that it's the school's call to make in prohibiting certain dress, but I still think it's best to leave things alone and let the fruit express himself.

There are few intances where ignoring something will make it go away. This is one of them.

The kid was after attention, and he got it. Now there is a huge stink about it and a real headache for administrators and board members.

If everyone had just rolled their eyes and ignored it, the appeal for the kid would have been gone.

Pretty funny there was no mention of the fruit loops father in the story!

They need to find a bull dike to kick his mother's A$$ for her too.

The article never said he was allowed to wear a dress to school, it said he dressed in girls clothes and wore makeup etc. It never mentions a dress. It also says the school policy forbids males wearing dresses.

If he wore a dress to school, even one day, the school will loose. If the policy is as the article states and the kid didn't wear a dress to school (MANY girls never wear a dress to school), the school will win.

Whether the policy is right or not is a second question.

Yea kids aren't pounding someone because their a homosexual.Never understood people showing how cool and tough they are by picking on misfits and the weak.

Maybe they should make em alll wear pink triangles again.

At my neices prom a few years a guy dressed in a gown no one beat him up basically ignored him and the world kept on spinning.
