Soccer Mom: Unplugged

Ordinarily, I applaud the initiative and courage of teens who jump into the public forum and share their ideas or fight for a cause.  Even when I don't agree.  This time, I think it has gone a little too far.  The ACLU has gotten involved, aiding a young man who wants to convince his local school district that a "no-shorts rule" is unfair.  His argument:  If girls can wear skirts, boys should be able to sport shorts.  I don't argue with his point - it's valid enough.  But where I draw the line is at him dressing in drag everyday (supported by the ACLU) to draw attention to his cause.

If girls in midriff baring shirts, too-short skirts and other revealing clothes are sent home because their clothes are deemed a distraction in the school environment, it certainly can't add to his classmates ability to concentrate when little Johnny is seated next to them in a pink chiffon number he picked off the shelf at Kohl's.

Couldn't he just wear a t-shirt with male legs shackled or something to advertise his fight with the school district(or print  up and distribute flyers).  Next thing you know boys will be getting vasectomies just to show that they also deserve a "choice". LOL!

This is one for the gimme-a-break file.
