Ok, just to keep the discussion going - Let's critique this realted story! !! Right or wrong to suspend and charge him?
He broke the rules, intentionally and without remorse. Yes the school was right in the suspension and charges.
So you think it was in the rules that a guy couldn't wear a dress??? I think he should have just been asked to leave. No need for suspension and charges.
the only thing he did wrong was covering up what he was already turned away from. He should have been asked to leave and that be that. He wasn't trying to be malicious.
I don't see where it states that it was a rule he can't wear a dress. I bet if a female wanted to wear a suit they would let her!! Its just like being a parent pick your battles
Apparently, since he was refused entrance, then went home put on a suit oer the dress, and came back. He was, then he put on a suit over the dress came back was allowed in where he took off the tux and started dancing suggestively in the dress. Perhaps you should read the entire article before commenting.
Then why was he turned away the first time? If you don't like the rules, change them. Don't violate them just because you disagree with them. He was asked to leave, which he did. Then he returned with a suit over the dress. Later, during the dance, he took off the suit to reveal the dress underneath. The article states that he thought it would be funny. He was being malicious when he was told no but decided to do it anyway.
For those of you who think this guy did nothing wrong, how many of you have kids? If you told your kids "no" and they did it anyway, what would you do. Laugh and say, well he's just being a kid? Or would you punish him for disobeying?
yes, I know he was asked to leave, I read the article. I was saying he should have been asked to leave the 2nd time, even though he made it in with his suit on. And being malicious is not the same as being funny. You know as well as I do (I mean you were a pimplefaced, goofy teenager at some point, right?) that he was just doing it to be funny and acting the fool. there was no malice. :roll:
Well, on the other hand, I how they would feel about people like Timothy McVeigh or Eric Robert Rudolph. No, I'm not equating the kid with the above terrorists. (And I know even after writing that, there will be people who will believe that's exactly what I'm doing) However, we are a nation of laws. We, as civilized society, believe that we should work to change laws rather than just violate them because we don't like them. After all, that way lies anarchy.
Up until a couple of years ago I was breaking a NC law everyday. Co-habitation was illegal in this state. Done it for 8 years..does that make me a bad person? I knew it was a law and i knew i was breaking it. Should I have moved out? Who was I hurting by breaking that law?? not one dang person. Who was this kid hurting by breaking the no dress law law? No one. IT also might not have been a "law" but probably a teacher that said no guy is wearing a dress in here.
So, is it ok to break any law that does not "hurting anybody"? When your son tells you to go screw yourself when you tell him to take out the garbage, he's not really hurting anyone. Do you laugh and tell him he's so cute? How about the guy who (from another thread) was passing a stopped school bus? Technically he did not hurt anyone. Should we just wave with a smile as he flies by? Once again, the fact that you don't like the law does not give you leave to break it. Were you a bad person for breaking the law? Yes, by definition you were.
