PORT ORCHARD, Wash. – A 15-year-old boy has been suspended from school after wearing high heels and a dress to school as a part of a challenge laid down by his mother. Sam Saurs, a ninth grader at Sedgwick Junior High School in Port Orchard, said he told his mother that wearing high heels wouldn't be that hard. Saurs' mother challenged him to try it and he accepted. To take it even further, he decided to wear a dress, too.
"I was pretty" said Saurs.
After Saurs showed up at school Wednesday in the dress and heels, the school suspended him for the remainder of the year. That suspension was later reduced to three days. But, Saurs won't be allowed to go to the ninth grade dance or the class party at Wild Waves. Saurs said he was disappointed it got him kicked out of school. "If anything, it makes me want to be more out there and more spontaneous and crazy," he said.
Saurs has been suspended before for wearing makeup and hats to class.
His mother, Ivanna Leible, said she did not complain about the suspension since the school does have a ban on hats, but she said there is no rule against boys wearing dresses in the student handbook. "I found that very offensive. They told him he couldn't be him," said Leible. The South Kitsap School District said the issue has been resolved and would not make any further comment about the incident.
