Before I retired from the public school system we had a student who identified as a penguin and wore a penguin suit to school (HS) each day. He was escorted to the office where he would call his mother for a change of clothes. He was eventually suspended for repeated dress code violations and ultimately, he was withdrawn from school. It was either an attempt to create grounds for a lawsuit or he was truly mentally unsound. Either way, I am so grateful to be out of the madness.
I know some people call a tuxedo a 'penguin suit" but in this case, it was an actual penguin suit. It fell into the "costume" category and costumes, including capes were prohibited attire and considered a distraction to the learning environment. For context, shirts depicting profanity or lewd in nature, ripped jeans, pajamas, leggings that were not covered by a long enough shirt, and cropped/midriff tops etc. were also prohibited.
He also sought permission to relieve himself outside as penguins do. We didn't allow this either.
Thanks for the explanation.
Still sane back then.
We weren't allowed to wear pants when I was in school. Unless you were a boy and no one heard of claiming to be girl born in a boy's body. Those skirts had better come to the bottom of your knees too or you'd be sent home.
