AMITE, La. - Decked out in full cap and gown, complete with a valedictorian cord, Andrew Jones showed up to his graduation from Amite High School ready to experience his hard work paying off.
He didn't get the chance because of what he was wearing on his face.
"Eventually they took my gown," he recalled, "They told me they had to take my gown from me."

This is a kid in High School with rules for graduation.
He said no and the high school said no. It’s as simple as that.
Your Rand moment is ridiculous.
You want this kid on your staff, have at it.
Stop being a foul-mouthed jackass, making up crap and throwing it like some angry zoo ape.
The kid was allowed the beard all year long by the same administration. Those were the real rules. He called them on their hypocrisy, and won both academic and athletic scholarships to college.
But to you, that means I support perverts in girls bathrooms?
Read my lips, really carefully: Go To Hell.
Trump doesn’t follow the rules. He is a “rebel.” He doesn’t fight fair.
But that is OK in a President, but not in a high school kid.
It’s a stupid rule. It wasn’t enforced until the end of the year.
I am sure if he was a blond haired blue eyed vet your position would be different.
Only if there are high school bearded slaves to rescue.
Then it should have been enforced in September. Not may.
The term for this is “chickenshit.” Enforced by men with small penises and ugly women.
He was told three times to make the correction. He refused.
End of story.
Go ahead and put him on your workforce. I won’t.
I'm not interested in your sex fantasies. Go salute the mirror, you bootlicking martinet.
He is smart. He is athletic, and he is a leader.
I’ll take him over some cracker petty little man who is bound to silly rules. Every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
Straight As and Student of the Year...One kid that will make something of himself...Whoever would not let him walk is a moron....
Particularly sensitive issue for me as my son was not allowed to walk with his class. He graduated a year early—he had taken all the required courses except for one class which he took following summer at junior college, and any other classes that he had wanted to take like advanced AP stuff, were all offered at the same time. Soo he decided to just skip senior year. Well the new principal would not let him walk with his class as he had not taken classes at the high school. So he did not get a gown tho we did order a cap :( His advisors and teachers tried to get the moron to change his mind, but to no avail...
I thought it was a stupid rule...and principal is a moron...just like the one in this story.
Ummm, you told me to go to hell. Still not happy?
Sucks to be you.
You clearly never hired people that could think on their own.
We want kids to be disciplined, unless we don’t.
It doesn't suck as bad as being someone who defines freedom as mindless obedience to casual, hypocritical totalitarianism.
Yet Obama marches around the world with his beard...
I have hired many that think on their own. If I require them to present themselves in a manner that the company requires, they do so.
If they choose to ignore it they are not going to be presenting themselves in the future with the company.
Wow. and to think I had to turn my Highway to Hell concert shirt inside out in High School.
Those totalitarian thugs were jack-booting my face to the floor and English 401 was 6 steps away.
My God the Humanity!
LOL!
LOL!!!
And why exactly can’t you have a beard?
Is this where ZZ Top members graduated from?
Let me ask you then, if you had a dress code that was ignored for the whole year, not enforced, and no comments made would you fire that person for showing up out of the code a year later?
If your answer is yes, then you have never been a supervisor in the real world. Your ass would be sued faster than it would take to shave a little high school kid.
