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.

At least he doesn't look like he went bobbin' for apples in a tackle box. When will these freaks understand that their "statement look" will keep them from ever being taken seriously, and that they will always be relegated to the fringes of society?

In my day he would probably have gotten his ass kicked daily until the clown crap went away.

Jim & Mom would be better served if they kept their mind on his academic performance rather than these kerfuffles that have all the meaning of a fart.

3 cheers for this...uh, kid!

By dressing this way, he sends a clear signal to anyone who so much as glances his way that there's something just not right about the boy. (That IS a boy, right?) We should encourage all of the DUmmies to follow his/her/its lead.

I like it when idiots make it easy to identify them, just like the ones with a Kerry sticker on their car.

Yeah, if this loser wants advertise that he's a schmuck, that's his right...under the law.

This is just another example of why a "uniform dress code" should be a desireable goal.

That is Charlie Sheen. The quote is from a character he played in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

It should be referred to as "it". It is safer.

BWHAHAHAHAHA. That's even funnier than the outdated reference to Ferris Bueller.

If he is in ninth grade, then he is repeating his first year at the school.

Minor point.
