...Kid is repeating a grade, has maintained poor performance, is disruptive but, yet, the ACLU wants to "protect" him from discrimination.

You know what would be funny? better than suspending him?
Get everyone else.... teachers, students alike, to dress just like him. ;~D
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?
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.
Wow, what is this, Woody Woodpecker doing a personal appearance?
Do ya think this guy might have "issues?"
LoserMan.
Maybe it's Maybelline!
If he is in ninth grade, then he is repeating his first year at the school.
Minor point.
His Mommy probably looks just like him.
Saw a kid with a Mohawk last weekend and said "where is his Mom?" then, I saw his Mom. she was all gothic looking.
There ya go!
The kid is a freak.
But, is the policy in writing?
If not, I think this is excessive. Still, he should have been sent home and ordered to change.....
Someone should really tell this boy that only women wear lipstick. If he's wearing lipstick and eyeshadow then he's likely a homo.
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...
Horsehockey! Near the end of the same story, "reporter" Irma Lemus -- who, presumably, wrote the introduction as well -- wrote this:
Whatever you think of that reasoning by the school, it certainly is different from the impression Ms. Lemus obviously wanted to project; that the suspension was capricious, baseless, and unexplained.
School officials were unable to cite any reference to makeup in school regulations or the California Education Code. They pointed to a section of the school's Student and Parent Handbook on dress code tying the suspension to a paragraph saying that if clothing "creates a safety hazard ... or when the dress constitutes a serious and unnecessary distraction to the learning process or tends to disrupt campus order,' the student is in violation.
The kid says that the school is "violating his constitutional right to free expression." Uh huh. I doubt a 16-year-old doing ninth grade for the second time knows any more about the Constitution than his witch mother or ACLU lawyer feeds him.
Why's he different from any other California teenager?
what i dont understand is how all of you are so hopelessly immersed in what you consider normal society that when presented with someone who chooses to change the way he looks for reasons that you probably dont understand you address the situation with anger
what a bastard he is for thinking hes different
**Boy is suspended from school for wearing lipstick and eye makeup**
So, what's wrong with that? I mean suspending the neo-homo.
Suspension is not enough; he should have been banned.
