No, he'll just file charges and win a fat punitive settlement.

No teenager (boy or girl) should be wearing high heels to school.

You're confusing homosexuals with transsexuals.

Hey, if he wants to wear such horrid shoes, twist an ankle, be unable to run well, have aching feet at the end of the day, screw up his back....by all means, KNOCK YOURSELF OUT, KID!

Shouldn't take him long to figure out why so many women hate high heels. They are NOT comfortable!

I'm male and wore 3" and 4" heels to school regularly. I was 4'10" then; high school buildings are simply not designed for someone as short as me, so I wore cuban heels.

Why not? I hope they're not stilettos though... I look like an idiot when I walk in them. LOL

Every single school age student in America should be in a uniform with a strict dress code. Time to get beyond this nonsense and go back to the basics. Its school not a fashion show.

Meh, this is when kids are figuring out who they are. This is when they dress funny and try to be an individual. They're young, who cares. You can still study and get good grades despite the fact that you're wearing high heeled shoes or whatever else it is you fight to wear. Plus, they are learning to buck the status quo...something I will always support.

Lemme guess, you're basing that statement on the story from Morgan Hill? That's my region, and there were VERY clear reasons for not allowing any flags to be worn at that school... but if that is what you're referring to, I'd bet money you don't understand the history behind why they banned them.

Aside from that one example, I don't know of any schools that have banned clothing with American flags. I've been out of high school for a long time now (17 years), but I have worked in schools as recently as 2010 - and plenty of kids wore shirts with the American flag.
