Jonathan Escobar may have chosen to wear wigs, skinny jeans and make-up as a form of expression. But the administration at North Cobb High School wants him to go express himself somewhere else.

According to the AJC, Escobar recently relocated from Miami to the Atlanta area to live with his sister. After attending the Cobb County school for only three days, the school's assistant principal told him he should dress more "manly" or consider home schooling.

Escobar refused to compromise his personal style and withdrew from the high school.

But students at the high school refuse to keep quiet about the issue. Over 5,000 people have joined the Facebook group Support Jonathan, where 21 separate threads of discussion have popped up and over 1,000 people have submitted wall posts.
