I'll keep my conservative views to myself on this one.

This is just another example of how the ACLU is helping to destroy Americas youth. I personally couldn't care less if the little flamer wnats to wear a skirt or a bra and panties on his own time when he is not at school, but to allow him to come to school and disrupt class because everyone is more interested in staring at him and laughing about how he "stuck it to the man" is just plain stupid. Whats next, where does this kind of ACLU sponsored BS stop?

See, I'd have taken it to the other extreme. No dresses or skirts for anyone. Long pants only and everyone is the same.

The kid whould have become the hated target of most of his school and peer pressure would have fixed the issue

Hurah! I think it is pretty bad when someone is willing to walk around looking stupid just to make a point. And he is disrupting classes. I know times change, but shorts are just not professional in school or the workplace. We need to be taught early in life that there are dress codes out there.

Agreed.

I went to St. Andrews Bar in NYC a few weeks ago.

All the bartenders, all Scots, all wearing skirts? All with
different plaid designs and colors. What's that all about?

I like skirts just fine... but for God's Sake, shave your legs and put on some nice hose

If it ain't your kid why care if he wears a skirt? Really, this is just an endorsement of standardized dress (read: uniforms) in public schools. Do you think a girl in a short skirt is any less disruptive? One of them cost me a scholarship.
p.s. ... and the kilts were all in different tartans, not plaids.

Your argument is null due to lack of information, and to any degree could be seen as slanderous.

You define that this fellow is homosexual, or as you so eloquently put it "a little flamer". The article in no way states this, and states his motive as wanting to protest a no-shorts policy. Even if he was homosexual it does not factor in.

I'll admit that although aforementioned, a girl wearing a skirt can be distracting. The novelty of a man wearing womens clothing can also be distracting, it's not going to distract to any point that I'm going to fail my exams. As far as instigating any other exercises of freedom, I'm not to worried about that. If they do occur it's all for the better, this is America and this is about freedom. Let his contemporaries rejoice in their victory all that they wish, it is not as if any of the younger generations of your conservative cronies will give a damn.

I do not see how this is helping to "Destroy Americas Youth". Unless you are ofcourse, referring to homosexuality. It carries no vice or disadvantage besides having a stigma attached to it by the likes of you. The kid is fighting for his freedoms, no matter how frivolous they may be. Freedom is important, and if you fought for it then you should know it.

I tend to be one of the more conservative voices here on aximsite. but he has a point, and a right to do that. There is a fair amount of supreme court decesions that supports his case. But i will say that i am not the biggest fan of the ACLU. but they have done a good deal in the field of student free speech which some i have used in defense of the college republicans.
