Student Gets In-School Suspension Over Dress Code Violation, Calls School Homophobic
Author:
Trevor Wilkinson, a Texas high school student, stated that he received an in-school suspension after he showed up to school wearing nail polish, a violation of a district dress code that only allows girls to wear makeup and paint their nails.
Wilkinson, 17, is openly gay, and revealed the discriminatory policy in a tweet that slammed the Clyde Consolidated Independent School District for the discrimination.
“Imagine your school not allowing boys to paint their nails and giving boys iss for it,” Wilkinson, a student at Clyde High School, wrote. “And the whole administration being okay with it, homophobic and sexist? Welcome to west [T]exas.”
