Quote:I would guess that it's because he's doing something other than the social norm and got suspended for it, and the article originally didn't mention anything but "there was no mention of purses in the code of conduct" (or something of the sort).

That's what the media does. They give out partial stories. Yet, people want to get in an uproar when they only hear the one side. As politically correct as the country has gotten, I'd find it hard to believe any school would suspend a child unless he or she deserved it by breaking one of the rules. Seems like every time there is a "first" kid who did this or that, we hear about it in the news. Then, you hear the crowd that says that it was wrong that that got disciplined for it. There are kids that are different in every school, that doesn't mean they all break the rules. for every one of these kids that try to make a statement, there a many others that can be who they are and still adhere to the rules.
