Boy suspended from school for wearing makeup and lipstick
By Irma Lemus, Staff Writer
SAN BERNARDINO - In what is shaping as a battle between conformity and self-expression, Pacific High School has suspended a ninth-grade boy for wearing lipstick and eye makeup.
Officials are calling it a violation of school policy, which they seemed unable to find in writing...
James Herndon, 16, repeating his second year at the school, and his mother, Valerie Wallace, say James has been wearing black lipstick and red eye makeup the entire time he has been enrolled at Pacific. He also wears his hair in a dyed-red mohawk with the sides shaved. But that was not cited as part of the reason for the five-day suspension, which was imposed Monday.

I wonder if his dad is okay with this?

Leave the kind in school as an example of what kids ought NOT do with their lives...
I'm surprised he makes it to and from school in one piece.
Future leader of the Democratic Party?
LOL!
I'll bet he gets really mad when people laugh at him, too. Looks like a potential school shooter to me. Thanks a bunch, Mom.
He sure is getting the attention he wanted.
Ostensibly he's at school to learn a curriculum not to 'Self-Express'.
And I use the term "he" loosely!
I did a search...but didn't come up with the prior posted article.
A typical member of the Democratic Underground.
Why is it that my daughter won't bring home a nice boy like this. ;-)
Fat drunk and stupid is no way to go thru life son.
My son wanted to dress like this kid when he was in HS but I said "N-O NO!" Instead, he snookered me into the baggy pants theme.
The ACLU? I heard somewhere his makeup was attributed to a religious practice.
Oh, I see- he's an idiot.
Yeah, but I bet he knows all the hidden codes to Donkey Kong and has the highest score running for 3 years in a row now down at the arcade...
This other stuff makes baggy pants like almost normal! lol
Little Precious is such a cutie....
I do apologize. For a moment I had a 50s flashback. I won't let it happen again. Wonder if he has any sisters?
Freak
In the early 60s I got suspended from Highschool for 3 days for wearing a coat and tie.
SO9
Mom lets him look like this? Shocked! Shocked I am that he getpoor grades.
And you have to have a license to own a gun, but any moron can squeeze out a kid.
Bwaaaaaa! That picture hurts my Feeeeeeeeeelings! Eye Wanna Soo Sum Body !!! ;-))
claiming its a religious thing- Wicka (sp)

Dummy. You must remove your pants if you're gonna wear a coat and tie !!! ;-))
Looks like you found the kids inspiration.
He can play Road Warrior on his own time. For school he can wipe that crap off his face and tone down the doo.
Both freedom of expression and equal protection clauses of the constitution will make this a sure loser for the school system should the case go to the courts. These school systems always say they are following the law (it reminds me of the case in Upstate N.Y. where the young girl was suspended for wearing red, white, and blue beads as a show of support for our troops) but are too often breaking both State and Federal Laws.
These school administrators should be dismissed or worse for costing the taxpayers needless money to prosecute these idiotic cases.
While I wouldn't encourage anyone to dress in that way to express oneself, hey..."chacque on son goût" as the French say.
Oooh. He's so different and original. How come I saw a bunch of clowns down at the local highschool (and on MTV) who look just like him. These "non-conformist" types seem to march in lock step. You wanna be unique, ya little douche: Show some self-respect.

You know what would be funny? better than suspending him?
Get everyone else.... teachers, students alike, to dress just like him. ;~D
Perhaps Heather has two mommies?
Heh, that scenario kind of reminds me of the Dr. Seuss story about the Star-belly Sneetches.
That would be the perfect answer!
At least he doesn't look like he went bobbin' for apples in a tackle box. When will these freaks understand that their "statement look" will keep them from ever being taken seriously, and that they will always be relegated to the fringes of society?
In my day he would probably have gotten his ass kicked daily until the clown crap went away.
Jim & Mom would be better served if they kept their mind on his academic performance rather than these kerfuffles that have all the meaning of a fart.
3 cheers for this...uh, kid!
By dressing this way, he sends a clear signal to anyone who so much as glances his way that there's something just not right about the boy. (That IS a boy, right?) We should encourage all of the DUmmies to follow his/her/its lead.
Wow, what is this, Woody Woodpecker doing a personal appearance?
I like it when idiots make it easy to identify them, just like the ones with a Kerry sticker on their car.
He looks like a pretty big guy, maybe that's his protection.
I don't think you can make that generalisation about circus folk.
