I like his mother. I'd like to know what exactly he was suspended for.
Boy wears dress and heels to school, gets suspended
A 15-year-old boy has been suspended from school after wearing high heels and a dress to school as a part of a challenge laid down by his mother.
Sam Saurs, a ninth grader at Sedgwick Junior High School in Port Orchard, said he told his mother that wearing high heels wouldn't be that hard. Saurs' mother challenged him to try it and he accepted. To take it even further, he decided to wear a dress, too.
After Saurs showed up at school Wednesday in the dress and heels, the school suspended him for the remainder of the year. That suspension was later reduced to three days. But Saurs won't be allowed to go to the ninth grade dance or the class party at Wild Waves.
The South Kitsap School District said the issue has been resolved and would not make any further comment about the incident.
Are high heels not allowed at this school? Is the dress considered too low cut? How exactly is this considered inappropriate attire? I am a female and I wore slacks to school in the '80's and even wore a tie for my 9th grade year book photo and not once did I get in any trouble.
I figure it's just old school gender role bigotry rearing its little pointed head.
Hey can't figure out how to just message you.
I have been practicing your song "Nelly" lately and it comes out really nice. Am wondering if you would be kind enough to send me the lyrics so I don't have to make them up any more. BTW Ive been very very bad. Where is the whip?
