General School Says Boy Can't Dress Like Girl

[Scary Nachos]

(Oct. 7) - When it comes to picking out an outfit to wear to school, there's a fine line between self-expression and unnecessary distraction.

One Georgia high school has decided that one of its 16-year-old male students crossed that line, and has asked him to start dressing in a more "manly" fashion, The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.

Jonathan Escobar had recently transferred to North Cobb High School in Kennesaw, Ga. and immediately caused quite a stir among students and staff with his penchant for wearing wigs, makeup, skinny jeans, vintage tops and women's flats.

"If I can't express myself, I won't go to school," he told the Atlanta Journal Constitution, "I want to get the message out there that because this is who I am, I can't get an education."

Damn it, just shoot the damn kid and have everyone else go on with their lives.
I am so sick of this contraproductivity going on amongst the youth of today
They just find any damn excuse not to go to school and all they want is to stand out from the crowd

We got 7billion people on this planet, of course there is going to be people wearing the same stuff as you, and of course some place you will be a regular person no matter what you wear.
If you want to stand out so badly, wear a huge cowboyhat or something:nuts:

wow, this contradicts our school districts beliefs, we had a "dress like your date"

 

[Azlier]

The school my siblings go to doesn't allow even hoodies. Nor hats, hoods of any kind, or any "head covering".

Adolescence is all about finding your own identity... if he's that adamant about who he is, good for him. But it's his loss if it's causing a disruption to his own education. You can't always get your way, if he can't change himself, then he's the only one denying himself his own education.

You know, here in Australia, we have strict uniform policies in all schools. People accessorise to a certain extent within the confounds of the uniform, and they find their own identity. But why can't he just be himself when he gets home?

Sure, your image defines a large part of you, but it's not the deciding factor in what you are. If he can't define himself without certain clothing and stuff, then he must have a pretty bland personality.

There are plenty of people in this world who practice cross-dressing. The difference being, they do this in their own time and usually in private. In school it's just unnecessary

 

[FireCat]

Holy crap, wigs he wear.. that's just ridiculous, He can express himself at home. seriously!

queer

Says enough.

"I don't consider myself a cross-dresser," he said. "This is just who I am."

Now THAT just seals the deal. =/

Well sonnovabitch


PS: That's a creepy damn kid. I would hate him if he was mine, honestly.

The only thing schools should control is obscene material. Everything else is fucking fine. What do school officals not understand? They run the school to a) give children an education and b) to ensure student protection. Not to run a fucking fashion show. Let kids dress their way. It is their way of speaking freely.

I find it funny that people are so worried about cloth. If you're so worried about cloth, is that how 'singling-out' starts?

But it's icky.

The kid is clearly in denial. It is pretty damn clear that he IS a cross-dresser and that sort of thing shouldn't be allowed in the classroom. There has to be a limit somewhere.

But it's icky.

Fake being gay? Then get some lucky girl to "convert" you back :thup:

I don't think I would feel very comfortable being around guys that talk with elevated voices. That annoys me SO fucking much. Like I don't care if you're gay (as long as you don't touch me) but when they talk like that I just want to hit them, I don't get what's so hard about talking like a normal person.

Anyway, can we take that picture off from the forum? I about cried when I saw it....

 

[ElderKingpin]

ill put it in spoilers, so we dont go blind. anyway.

Gay and such have been protrayed in comedies as complete wierdos.

For example. The Longest Yard.

 

[Varine]

No I mean real gays who talk with a falsely elevated pitch and I hate it with an extreme passion.
