Boy suspended from school for wearing makeup and lipstick
By Irma Lemus, Staff Writer
SAN BERNARDINO - 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...
James Herndon, 16, repeating his second year at the school, and his mother, Valerie Wallace, say James has been wearing black lipstick and red eye makeup the entire time he has been enrolled at Pacific. He also wears his hair in a dyed-red mohawk with the sides shaved. But that was not cited as part of the reason for the five-day suspension, which was imposed Monday.

Yeah, but I bet he knows all the hidden codes to Donkey Kong and has the highest score running for 3 years in a row now down at the arcade...
This other stuff makes baggy pants like almost normal! lol
Little Precious is such a cutie....
I do apologize. For a moment I had a 50s flashback. I won't let it happen again. Wonder if he has any sisters?
Freak
In the early 60s I got suspended from Highschool for 3 days for wearing a coat and tie.
SO9
Mom lets him look like this? Shocked! Shocked I am that he getpoor grades.
And you have to have a license to own a gun, but any moron can squeeze out a kid.
Bwaaaaaa! That picture hurts my Feeeeeeeeeelings! Eye Wanna Soo Sum Body !!! ;-))

Dummy. You must remove your pants if you're gonna wear a coat and tie !!! ;-))
Looks like you found the kids inspiration.
He can play Road Warrior on his own time. For school he can wipe that crap off his face and tone down the doo.
Both freedom of expression and equal protection clauses of the constitution will make this a sure loser for the school system should the case go to the courts. These school systems always say they are following the law (it reminds me of the case in Upstate N.Y. where the young girl was suspended for wearing red, white, and blue beads as a show of support for our troops) but are too often breaking both State and Federal Laws.
These school administrators should be dismissed or worse for costing the taxpayers needless money to prosecute these idiotic cases.
While I wouldn't encourage anyone to dress in that way to express oneself, hey..."chacque on son goût" as the French say.
Oooh. He's so different and original. How come I saw a bunch of clowns down at the local highschool (and on MTV) who look just like him. These "non-conformist" types seem to march in lock step. You wanna be unique, ya little douche: Show some self-respect.

You know what would be funny? better than suspending him?
Get everyone else.... teachers, students alike, to dress just like him. ;~D
Perhaps Heather has two mommies?
Heh, that scenario kind of reminds me of the Dr. Seuss story about the Star-belly Sneetches.
That would be the perfect answer!
