Trevor Wilkinson, 17, has already received nearly 200,000 supporters. The young man lives in Texas, and was suspended by his high school for wearing nail polish. According to him, the establishment threatens to continue to suspend him until he has not withdrawn him.
L’adolescent, who presents himself in his petition on change.org like a homosexual man, reproach his school for undermine his freedom of expression and also denounces a “double-standard“, while the internal regulations only prohibit boys, and not girls, from wearing nail polish.
“Help me show that it is acceptable to express oneself and that the company does not have to standardize a single identity “, he pleads online. Without communicating on his case in particular, the high school where Trevor Wilkinson is schooled reacted through one of his representatives, Kenny Berry.
This one would have affirmed, reports USA Today, that sartorial matters “are considered individually”, declining to comment on Trevor’s specific case, but appreciating “the comments and contributions on this matter received from members of the community”, which he promises to heed.
