That's absolutely insane! I'm glad he had friends to support him and the one made a very valid point, if a girl can dress like a man, why not the other way around?
I could understand the problem with the hats because I know a lot of schools ban hats because of the fear of "gang affiliation", but unless there is a gang of cross-dressers, that shouldn't be a problem. Right?
I'm not sure if a school uniform would work. He would probably still be ostracized if he wore a girl school uniform.
I'd rather see him in my class because he did look well groomed and clean, much nicer than some of the grungy guys who wear their pants almost to their knees with their butt cracks hanging out.
MAKE MY DAY--leave a comment! I love to receive comments and will even comment back most of the time! I just ask that you please try to stay on topic, no bashing of other BLOGGERS. Please no meme/awards or tags! I used to do them, but I really don't have time or patience now. I will reciprocate and leave a comment on your blog too, if you have one. You do not have to be a blogger to comment, so try it! Thank you so much!
I do approve of school uniforms. As I feel it prepares the kids better for the workplace, and better facilitates personal grooming.

@Sweet-Britches, Thanks, I could'nt have said it better!
ReplyDelete@Mary Ellen, that's true, why can a girl dress like a boy, but not the other way around. This particular boy seemed to be wearing a costume.
I never thought about if they had school uniforms that he would wear the girl's uniform! Doh!
I'm pretty sure that most school dress codes don't allow those baggy pants you describe. I'm just glad I'm not a kid in school these days.
