Wear a dress, get suspended from school

[Specterbane]

I think in this case it wasn't so much the cross dressing as the standing out again from the perspective of the administration. The article said he'd has suspensions for "hats and make up" before, and high schoolers being high schoolers it seems like this may have been more as a joke to get people surprised and laughing than anything with his identity beyond that. It fall under the "being a distraction to the learning process" umbrella, at least it would've where I went to school.

All that being said it's a stupid sort of umbrella rule that school over react about all the time. If anything, the most disappointing thing about this to me is how not surprised I am about how all this played out from that article.
