Georgia School Kicks Out Student For Dressing Too Femine

I went thru the exact same thing.
I think if I would have been given a fair chance in school, things would be different for me now.
So I also dropped out of school.
I did however get my GED 3 years later.
Starts with school
then comes job huntimng
thus no shame in my escorting, and getting what I feel society owes me for treating me like shit for no reason.
Don't let me go to school, or won't hire me to work in a fast food establishment for minimual wage, yet I can get paid $250 to get my dick sucked and fuck guys in the ass.
And I'm the stupid one??
LOL, LOL
This video hit home and brought back bad memories.
But I no longer feel the need to defend or feel bad for being an escorrt.
Members of HA, this video is exactly one of the contributing factors to why my life took the turn it took.

Empathy for you hon'. No one's judging you. I'd have to walk a mile in your shoes, and I just can't walk in high heels.

You're beautiful.

Thats what I thought?
I wasnt a dumb student
I even made the honor roll a few times, but I guess eyeliner and earrings impede the brain from learning.

Try having spiked hair and wearing a choke chain w/ a padlock and pierced ears.

We're not talking about education, we're talking about schooling.

Schooling is about thought control, not education. Schools exist to mold people into a specific desired outcome, an arrangement fundamentally exclusive from diversity & individuality.

Does clothing matter? The argument they usually take has two paths. In one, they try to argue safety concerns (i.e. baggy pants you might trip on, chains that could be removed & used as weapons, piercings that could be ripped out of peoples faces by bullies). This has become all the more potent after columbine because now some districts want you to use mesh purses, mesh backpacks, and so on so they can see what you're carrying without having to search you. They don't want coats that can easy conceal weapons (cloaks, trenches, whatever).

The other argument, which is the more common one, is the issue of disruptions.

The basic idea, as we were taught on it when I was going for my teaching certificate (back when I was considering going for one) was that anything that disrupts the classroom environment is viewed as a problem that needs to be purged. So if someone comes into class wearing something that causes a disruption (people staring, people talking, people laughing, whatever the case may be), the deviant individual is the one who is forced to change, not their peers. Its far easier to just go "hey, don't wear this to school" than it is to get a classroom full of kids to stop whatever their reaction is, especially since teachers don't have complete oversight over kids and schools have to worry about what happens on the bus, on recess, out in the halls, in the locker rooms, at the bus stops...

If the disruptive clothing causes ridicule, violence, or bullying, usually these "problems" cure themselves by coercing the individual to assimilate (or, forcing them to leave by switching schools or dropping out). But if the person doesn't care, or wants the attention they're receiving (i.e. revealing clothing on girls) then school policy steps in to set "guidelines" on what people can wear.
