The family of a gay teenager who was fatally shot in class blames the school district for allowing their son to wear makeup and feminine clothing to school — factors the family claims led to the death.Yes, of course. The parents bear no blame in all this.

There is allot more going on in this story, the kids was a ward of the state living in a facility to help abused people recover.
The murder is *not* the schools fault no matter how moronic it is to let boys wear makeup and girls cloths.

This is going to be considered frivolous, it wasn't the makeup and clothing, it was his name that got him shot.

"King was a ward of the court and living at a shelter for abused, neglected and emotionally troubled children at the time of the shooting."
seems the parents didn't care what this kid did. i'd like to smack them in the mouth.

which teacher was sexually recruiting the child?
did this school have a sex club in the form of GSA? (’gay’ straight alliance club)
there is no “homosexual” child unless that child has been recruited by the monsters inside the teaching profession.

I’m thinking that the enforcement of the dress code was the least of King’s problems. His main problem was that his birth parents did not parent, but gave that responsibility over to the schools.

Have these people considered that it might be more appropriate to blame the guy who shot him?

Yet the same family would likely have brought suit with the help of the ACLU had the school ENFORCED the code... After all, would not letting him wear make-up have been a suppression of his right to “express himself”?

I am sorry for the family’s loss but, they need to remember that the finger they are pointing at the school leaves 4 others pointing back at them. My suspicion is that the school wouldn’t have HAD to take a stand if the parents had.

The parents and brother of 15-year-old Larry King of Oxnard ... King, an eighth-grader at E.O. Green Junior High School ... King was a ward of the court and living at a shelter for ... emotionally troubled children..
15 and in 8th Grade?!?
I think he was a bit more than 'emotionally troubled' (gay). He was stupid to boot.
I graduated from 8th grade when I was 12 (June '62) and 13 when I started H.S. in Sept. (no, no double promotions).

The loss of any life diminishes us all, but why did the parents allow their son to wear makeup and feminine clothing to school.
