Perhaps there is a reason dad is not around?

Perhaps there is a reason dad is not around?
His Mommy probably looks just like him.
Saw a kid with a Mohawk last weekend and said "where is his Mom?" then, I saw his Mom. she was all gothic looking.
There ya go!
The kid is a freak.
But, is the policy in writing?
If not, I think this is excessive. Still, he should have been sent home and ordered to change.....
Someone should really tell this boy that only women wear lipstick. If he's wearing lipstick and eyeshadow then he's likely a homo.
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...
Horsehockey! Near the end of the same story, "reporter" Irma Lemus -- who, presumably, wrote the introduction as well -- wrote this:
Whatever you think of that reasoning by the school, it certainly is different from the impression Ms. Lemus obviously wanted to project; that the suspension was capricious, baseless, and unexplained.
School officials were unable to cite any reference to makeup in school regulations or the California Education Code. They pointed to a section of the school's Student and Parent Handbook on dress code tying the suspension to a paragraph saying that if clothing "creates a safety hazard ... or when the dress constitutes a serious and unnecessary distraction to the learning process or tends to disrupt campus order,' the student is in violation.
The kid says that the school is "violating his constitutional right to free expression." Uh huh. I doubt a 16-year-old doing ninth grade for the second time knows any more about the Constitution than his witch mother or ACLU lawyer feeds him.
Why's he different from any other California teenager?
Same guy?
what i dont understand is how all of you are so hopelessly immersed in what you consider normal society that when presented with someone who chooses to change the way he looks for reasons that you probably dont understand you address the situation with anger
what a bastard he is for thinking hes different
**Boy is suspended from school for wearing lipstick and eye makeup**
So, what's wrong with that? I mean suspending the neo-homo.
Suspension is not enough; he should have been banned.
I see a lot more humor than anger here.
