Don't get me wrong. The kid who dressed up like Nikki Minaj was pushing it. But, the principal definitely overreacted. There seems to be no consistency with school administrators. We hear about other issues that schools overreact on almost on a weekly basis. Most of those have to do with their no-tolerance policies, but they are enforced on things like Pop-Tarts that look like guns, bringing pocket knives to school, or a student giving Tylenol to a classmate.
I just wish the schools would handle these a little better. Keep it under the radar and resolve it without turning it into a shit storm. I think in this particular case, the principal didn't like the full-on drag look, so he took it upon himself to do something about it... even though students had been told that they could dress up like any celebrity.
School unis for everyone solves it. You're there to learn. If you don't like it - LEAVE
I'm not for or against uniforms, even though I mentioned the whole private school thing in my original post. Uniforms would definitely eliminate a lot of dress code enforcement problems.
I don't remember these many problems when I went to school. There are either a lot more ticky-tack rules that schools have put into place. Or, the media just blows this kind of shit out of proportion. I know - ABUNDANCE.
It was dress up day, did they really not see this coming?
This happened in my high school, but it wasn't dress up day. The flamboyantly obnoxious gay kid (he was overcompensating for something) came to school dressed as a woman, with his boyfriend from another school in tow and decided it was a good idea to make out in the hallway and bring his BF to class with him. Security and the Vice Principle came and took them out of our class, sent him home for making a distraction/disruption.
That situation I described I get, if somebody is intentionally causing a big show, then send their ass home. But on fucking "celebrity dress up day" you got to be a dip shit if you didn't see this coming.
That's FS. Dress up day. As long as the kid didn't have his cock and balls hanging out, why is this an issue. The whole dress up spirit week is a distration. If you don't want the distraction, then don't have it.
Even when I was in school a 100 years ago if a dude dressed like a chick on one of these types of days no one would have given a fuck.
Those of you on this bored from the Randle/Morton metroplex need to take RESPONSIBILITY for your towns.

If you don't want fags to fag ... then don't have spirit week.
And if you do have spirit week expect fags to fag.
