Here goes….why wait until your SENIOR year to express yourself, if thats truly what you were trying to do? To me it seemed as if he was trying to be funny because as ATL said the skirt is UGLY.
I say learn to pick your fights and to me this was not one, they gave the young man fair warning to take the womens clothing off and he did so., then WHY would you go back and put it back on!!!!??? You(meaning the young man) was looking for a reaction and he got one a day in jail and suspension from school!!!!!

I am so sick of this nasty, defiling spirit that is taken over our young men and extracting them of their masculinity! Takes a deep breathe… Living in this society I can understand why he feels as though he should be able to wear what he wants but him wearing that skirt could have caused some problems at school however, taking him to jail was ridiculous.

yes

WTF? No.

A definite NO.

Ridiculous! What crime did he commit???

@KH There are plenty of things "adults" and people in the real world can do that students/children cannot. The school has rules that children must follow. For instance girls skirts and shorts have to be a certain length at school but this rule does not apply for Adults. Yes the school may have went to far by locking him up, but like I said before pick your fights.
Also, I think it is kind of hard to apply this rule to the girls because lots of females do not dress "feminine" is that to say they are dressing like a boy…now if a female came to school with her pants sagging then she should be punished according as well.

In 1979, my middle school classmate Miss Marvin was sent home for rocking a fabulous cocktail dress with a plunging neckline and some fierce ankle strap pumps. Every one of us “Fruit Flies” were outraged at this “fashion injustice!”

No, that’s extreme! But everyone knows you don’t have as much freedom of expression in high school & he know that !

When I was in highschool, which it has been a while, we had to adhere to school rules and dress code rules. If the rules state that males have to dress in slacks or shorts, I would faithfully abide by the schools rules and that’s that.We can not dress how we want to, even if we feel like it’s liberating "us" in our senior year.True story, a guy was receiving his diploma and he decided that he would twist and sashay on down the aisle and receive his diploma.This guy was repremanded and detained by the school authorities for disrespecting the "pomp and circumstance" of he occassion.Although we live in America, we still must abide by rules, even if we like it or not.If you want to dress like that, May is just around the corner….. you can wait until then.Lord, we are in trouble…real talk.

I don’t think he should have been arrested but I DO think he should have been locked in the gym and the football team should have been made to line up and punt him dead in his azz til all those leaves or flowers fell off his skirt.If he’d learn anything from that,maybe it would inspire him to wear a solid color.

lmaooo! No I guess not.

The officer who arrested the boy is a Nazi! No wonder we have an increase in cop killings in this country!

The problem is, girls dress like boys and nobody says anything. Yet if a boy dresses like a girl he gets put in jail! What does that tell me? That in our society, women have more rights than men, and the men in our society must be gutless cowards to allow women to have rights they themselves won’t stand up for.

It’s all about education. This school is an example not to to educate their students correctly. First of all, a skirt is formerly a ONLY male garment, students should learn that in their history classes.
Secondly, clothes can express the personality, but most schools uniform it instead let them be creative.
The main point is that our society sexualize clothes for business reason but most people don’t know that. It only counts what people on the street saying, wearing or doing.
I like that this boy talked openly what he thinks about, and he is right. Fade excuses from principal could not bring the reality in front. Girls distracting much more with their kind of dressing, most called "cute" lessons or male students.
It is clearly a gender and sex discrimination.
