A post shared by Trevor Wilkinson (@trevormichae1) Over 66,000 people have signed an electronic petition in support of a 17-year-old, gay student suspended from his school for wearing nail polish.Trevor Wilkinson attends Clyde High School in Texas.
He says when he returned from Thanksgiving last Monday, he was called aside by a teacher. He was given an in-school suspension (ISS) and told his nail polish violated the school’s dress code for male students.The school handbook states boys cannot wear make-up or nail polish.
However, Wilkinson, and many others, say this is discriminatory and sexist, as it does not apply to female students.“Imagine your school not allowing boys to paint their nails and giving boys iss for it.
