As we wrote earlier today, it's being reported that a male student was sent home for wearing a skirt, high heals, and makeup. The school in question is Itawamba Agricultural High. located in Fulton, Mississippi, population 3,882. (Warning: follow the link at your own risk. Their web site is like their dress code - seriously out of date - it will make your eyeballs bleed).

Here's an extract from a more extensive account from NEMS360.com
IAHS freshman Juin Baize recently moved to Itawamba County from New Harmony, Ind. He started school Friday dressed similarly without incident and was then absent on Monday and Tuesday because he was sick.
He said that when he returned to school on Wednesday wearing heels and makeup, he was told he couldn’t come to school dressed the way he was. The same thing happened when he arrived at school on Thursday.
“They told me I was too feminine and they were mainly pointing out my heels,” Baize said. “I honestly don’t have boy clothes. I don’t have the money to buy boy clothes. I’m not going to because like everyone else, I’m there to get an education, and everyone else gets to dress like they want to.”
