Have some panic.

Utterly ridiculous. Junior High boy got suspended for the rest of the year, missed the school dance, and the class trip. Because he wore a dress. Oh NOES, a DRESS! Suspension was later reduced, but not until he'd already missed the dance and class trip.

Here's one with a picture of the dress and shoes.

Why are people so completely stupid that anybody even gives a crap if a kid wears heels to school on a dare? For that matter, why is it even dare-worthy? Never mind. It's dare-worthy because people care, so just refer to the first question, I guess.

Anyway, have some blow-up overreaction, shall we? I mean really--if you can't handle the way he's dressed, send him home to change. But suspend him for the rest of the damn year? Get a life and a sense of proportion.

Sounds like he was asked to go home and change. It was when he called the dean "sexist" that he got suspended.

However, I agree whole-heartedly, who the hell cares if a boy wears a dress and heels to school! He looked quite nice, I thought. Lovely dress, though perhaps a touch low cut for that age. (that's the conservative in me talking...)
