And if someone complained about the kid who said the prayer while cheering on this one, then I would consider their outrage to be selective as well. Don't even pretend for one minute that there aren't people who completely agree with a rule being broken to say a prayer, but disagree with a boy wearing make up to school. So my point stands exactly as I stated it, doesn't matter how much you try to twist it around.

Actually I couldn't find one word from the school districts student handbook regarding makeup.
https://www.pcsb.org/images/stories/...s/code1213.pdf

Dress code starts on page 6.

The school doesn't have any additional dress code listed on it's website.

You were speaking about specifics. If you had an actual example you would have a point and I would never say anything to you for calling them out.

Now I have not cross referenced posters from both threads but as of right now I only know of someone complaining about the valedictorian student while defending this student.

The world is laughing at us because a boy wore makeup at school one day? Things get a lot weirder in other countries. Plus some cultures wouldn't frown upon a boy wearing makeup.

But more importantly, who cares if the world is laughing at us (which it isn't), and how does it bother you if a boy wears makeup? Would I wear makeup, personally? Of course not, unless I was going on TV or something. But I couldn't care less if someone else wants to.

You know what they say about opinions. That's yours. So what?

Exactly! Thank you for proving my point.

It's only your opinion that a boy shouldn't wear makeup. Great, you don't have to wear makeup. But since it's only your opinion, other people SHOULD be allowed to wear makeup.

And exactly how many normal boys are going to wear makeup? You know the answer to that. It simply is not normal. People that are willing to accept the abnormal are the ones that are causing problems in this country.
