The Fame 4,288 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 At first I was wondering if EVERYONE was banned from wearing nail polish, but it looks like it's only male students? That's so stupid and discriminatory. There are WAYYYY bigger issues in the world; why even put so much effort into policing literal children painting their nails? Why do they even care in a world where they now have to do active shooter drills, suicide is on the increase, there's a global pandemic, etc? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elijahfan 27,484 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 These rules are so dated and ridiculous... I remember back when I was in high school, I almost got in trouble for wearing a fake piercing once. Meanwhile, girls could run around in low-rise jeans with their thongs showing and the headmaster didn't bat an eye... (It was the 00s, y'all) I also remember my sports teacher giving me **** regularly, for reasons I probably didn't even quite understand myself yet. Thank God I was shy and less outspoken 15 years ago, otherwise I would have ****ed some **** up and got into loads of trouble Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FATCAT 60,888 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 If he's at a public high school he should immediately sue. It's breaking his first amendment rights to self expression, and he'd probably immediately win. This kitten over here (meow) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonkers 30,860 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 He should remove the nail polish. Spoiler Except the middle fingers which should be red. Spoiler I'm joking of course, he should do whatever he wants with his fingernails.

AlexanderMagno 10,746 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Is this a LGBT issue? Because I thought painting your nails was a huge fashion trend nowadays among all men, at least where I am (European country). edit: it’s funny because as conservative as one school/western country might be, I’d never guess that painting your nails would take you further than the bullying from your peers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
