Tampa Boy Kicked Out of Class for Wearing Shoes Sandals

"He likes the way they make him feel. They make him feel more confident, and he just likes to wear them," says Riverview High School senior Hayley Stepp, who adds she's a friend of the student. "The first time he felt shame was when he was called out of ferragamo shoes school."
Pincipal Heilmann says the student dress code vaguely forbids clothing that causes a distraction, but it doesn't forbid heels, nor does tory burch flat specify what kind of shoes are gender appropriate.
Following the incident, some fellow students showed their support for the boy. Another male student wore a dress to school in a sign of solidarity.

"As any reasonable disciplinarian will tell you," Gawker's Richard Lawson says snidely, "you always punish the target of harassment, rather than the harassers, because they likely brought shoes sandals on themselves."

We don't know why people get so hung up on gender stereotypes. King Louis XIV of France used to wear mad four-inch heels like nobody's business. Or to quote noted modern Western philosopher Madonna: "Girls can wear jeans and cut their hair short, wear shirts and boots, 'cause salvatore ferragamo flats   OK to be a boy. But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading, 'cause you think that being a girl is degrading."
After news broke out of Gainesville that FAU assistant coach Matt McCall was indeed heading back to the Gators bench, I spent a large portion of the day trying to remember when an FAU basketball assistant made such a leap.
