Gender-bender code-breaker get special treatment, ACLU is all for it
Pace High School is usually in the news for its sports and academics. Now the school is making headlines because of it’s dress….. code.
There is one student, whose name we won’t reveal to protect his identity, who comes to school dressed as a girl. And he’s allowed to despite what the student code of conduct says, which states, ’students whose personal attire distracts other students shall make alterations before entering the classroom’.
So the school has dress code, but this kid is allowed to break it…why?
Classmates say a boy dressing as a girl is distracting to them and they want to know why they can’t dress the way they want to. For instance, girls are not allowed to show their midriff. Boys are not allowed to wear muscle shirts. Adam Hasson is a 12th Grader at Pace HS: “I think that if someone is going to be able to cross dress and stuff like that, than like, hair colors shouldn’t be an issue. I mean, that’s just as big of a distraction as someone dyeing their hair color red.”
Hasn’t Mr. Hasson heard, we must bow down to the agenda of the “gender expression.” This attitude is a sick result of things like this: “Beyond the Binary.” A confused kid like this should be helped, not celebrated and coddled for his sad disorder.
The boy, who has asked to be called a girl’s name, has the American Civil Liberties Union backing his position to cross-dress. Susan Watson is the regional director: “The ACLU is speaking out on this issue to make sure that all students have the right, that all students attend schools that are safe.” She also goes on to say, given the fact, class is still continuing at PHS, there is nothing distracting here.
The ACLU employing its reflexive subterfuge…or is it the comical incoherence of mental midgetry? Are we to believe this kid is “safe” in a short skirt and pink Uggs?
But, classmates are commenting. Hasson: “I think we’re all equal. Just because he changes his clothes and acts like a female, doesn’t mean he should get priority.”
It takes a teeager to sound like the grown up in the story. Anyone surprised?

This is only 1/2 of the story.
What started this controversy is the threatened expulsion of another student, not a cross dresser, because of his hair style. He has his hair spiked, sticking up in the air in 2 or 3 inch spikes. The kids mother helps spike it for him. The school says he violates the dress code and will kick him out if he doesn’t change it. That’s where the pissing contest begins.
The boy says he isn’t causing trouble with his hairdo. Nothing like the commotion that a cross dresser is creating in school, according to the student. The school is extending special treatment for the cross dresser, letting him use a separate bathroom, providing special facilities, and letting him dress as a girl.
Seems to me the school is the one causing the commotion. The administration there should be the one being expelled.
IMHO, the ACLU is supporting the wrong student. But isn’t that always the case?
Thanks for the wider landscape hoagie. Your comment makes the school’s actions even more abhorrent in context.
Amazing that a High School student makes more sense than a ACLU lawyer.
This is the time of passive resistance at the school. If enough students dress as they like then the school will change its policies one way or another as it can not expel them all at least not to many times.
I am a graduate from Pace High School and currently reside in Miami, FL. I work as the features editor for a local publication on South Beach, and am more than embarrassed by the discrimination allowed at Pace High School. Transvestites truly believe that they are women, and they have the right to act as such. The story is already slanted! How much more do you people want!? It is sad to think that there are people like the one’s who write this blog that truly believe in this crap. Since when is it right to discriminate against anyone? If it were up to people like you, women and African Americans would have no rights… How pathetic to think that your children are subjected to your ridiculous backwoods rhetoric. I can only hope that they contain a little more intelligence than this blog’s writers.
And by the way – the true terrorists in the United States are people like you, who do nothing but cause pain and suffering for millions of Americans. Take a look in the mirror because you are just as evil as Al Qaeda, Hezbollah or any other terrorist organization in the world. It’s just really sad that you’re allowed to live in a country that supposedly wants to abolish terrorism. Instead of looking abroad maybe our super genius president should start looking in our own backyard or in your regard – the pig slop!
