"School suspends boy for wearing dress to prom"

GOOD.

[al baby]

[billorites]

May I have this dance?

[Arkie2]

I blame that movie Dirty Dancing.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Kids just can't have a little fun anymore without the school gestapo stepping in.

In high school we did all kinds of pranks and stunts that would have gotten us prison time today.

Is there a bomb in that do?

Lofy said his school, Lake Geneva Badger High, had no problem letting him go to Saturday's prom with another guy. Lofy is not gay but says his friend is and couldn't find a date.

Now that's a REAL pal!

Sure let the school discipline him, but a $250 for disorderly conduct?

[Canard]

18 year olds dancing suggestively? Who would've thought it?

[Arkie2]

Hmm. Where did you go to school? When does the statute of limitations run out?

Come on, vee haf vays of makink you talk!

[Celtjew Libertarian]

Gottinger, though, said the prom is meant to be dignified, and Lofy's dress ``doesn't meet our criteria of what would be dignified dress.''

Let me get this straight (so to speak) -- dressing as Hugh Heffner and taking two girls, bringing a blow-up doll, and wearing a duct tape suit has met the criteria of "dignified dress."

All he had to do was claim to be gay and he would have a very lucrative federal case available to him. But of course straight people don't have those privileges.

[GummyIII]

Wonder what would have happened if a girl had worn a tux?

[shaggy eel]

dancing in a sexually provocative manner, including lying on another student on the dance floor.

,,, well he had to miss the next track meet but he got to go the extra mile at the dance. It's not all bad, is it?

[Thinkin' Gal]

Lofy said he'd like to fight the discipline but isn't sure how he can't afford an attorney. He plans to go to Colorado Mountain College in the fall and major in ski hill management.

FYI.

[alloysteel]

The lad is simply confused....

He was asking "Y"? Add "y" to "lad" and you get "lady".

This should really call for a Size 9 brogan applied forcefully to SOMEBODY'S gluteus maximus repeatedly, until an attitude change becomes apparent.

[mombonn]

My haircutter told me yesterday that her daughter is going to the prom with her stepdaughter, who will be dressed in a matching tux.

Yikes! Mom was only concerned because she had to pay for the prom dress AND the tux!

[Thinkin' Gal]

Also, he thought people would find it funny to see a 6-foot, 185-pound guy in a black, stretchy, spaghetti-strap dress.

It's going to be an uphill battle in ski hill management if he has no fashion sense.

Whiz kid, huh?
