There was a good Sunday New York Times story on the growing tension between gender-bender high school students and traditional dress codes. The story made brief reference to the recent North Cobb High case involving student Jonathan Escobar.

There seems to be a rise in news stories about cross-dressing students. A Houston senior was in the news last week when he wore black leather pants, purple high heels and a page-boy wig to class. It was the wig that landed him in trouble because his school has a rule that boys cannot wear hair longer than their collars.
