I stated in the comment thread of Renee's post that discussed how boys are forced to perform masculinity that it takes a village to enforce the gender binary, and damn if less than 48 hours later the news of this situation in Washington state pops up to verify that.

15 year old Sam Saurs in Port Orchard, WA found that out the hard way.   The Sedgwick Junior High School ninth grader got into a discussion with his mother which  started when she lamented how her heels were killing her feet.

We he stated that wearing high heels wouldn't be that hard his mother had a dissenting opinion and bet Sam he couldn't last a day in them.   .

I love the 'suspend for the rest of the year, think about it, reduce it to 3 days'  part - clearly a considered action .

School Boards in the US are full of the dumbest people imaginable.  The administrators they hire truly suck.

I have four years at pre-shooting Columbine that can attest to the veracity of that statement...
