Really?
A teenage high school student in Florida was sent to the principal’s office because of his shoes.
The boy’s teacher called principal Bob Heilmann to complain, saying the Riverview High School student’s high heels were “disrupting class”.
After meeting with the student in his office, Heilmann asked him to take the shoes off even though they make him feel confident.
The principal said of his decision:
“As a principal of a high school, I have to take the paternal side and make sure he’s going to be okay. Anytime anyone goes out from, quote, ‘the norm’ or anytime anyone wants to make a statement, you have to be willing to take what comes with it.”
As for the rest of the school, they didn’t think the student’s choice of shoes was a big deal.
