Clyde, a town of just under 4,000, is about 135 miles west of Fort Worth.
The Clyde Consolidated Independent School District did not comment on the incident with Wilkinson but said in a statement Friday that it"conducts a diligent and thoughtful review" of its dress code policy on an annual basis. "That review process results in the development of a final dress code that is consistently implemented and enforced during the next school year. Parents and students are provided a copy of the dress code prior to the start of each new school year," the district said.
"Questions or concerns with the dress code are reviewed individually, and the District cannot share any information regarding a specific student."says that men are prohibited from wearing makeup and nail polish. If a campus administrator determines that a student is in violation of the dress code the"student will be given an opportunity to correct the problem at school," it says.
The teen said he met with the school's principal and vice principal and he was told that if he did not remove his nail polish, he would remain in suspension.As of Saturday afternoon, more than 35,000 people had signed Wilkinson's petition to show their support. He said he hopes this encourages his school to change the dress code policy.
I don’t care how backward the town is in Texas. Everyone needs to call this 💩 out!
This is crazy. It’s a pandemic, it’s 2020. Like they have nothing better to do. I hope every single male teacher and student paints their nails in support.
Seriously? It’s 2020. Let’s just be glad the kid was attending school. Don’t worry so much about what kids wear.
Trevor, sing long, sing high. Express yourself now, it becomes more difficult as you grow older. The conservatives will try to shut you down. They hate anything that isnt 'them'. Don't let them get to you. You literally have the support from millions.
his cry for attention… He got it
This is absolutely a waste of time. There is a pandemic raging across the country and this school is worried about paint. It’s f-big ridiculous! And anyone who supports the school can F off!
There's actually a foundation that raises money and awareness of children being abused, and their hallmark is men polishing their nails. Males should be able to paint their nails if females are allowed too.
Sad that the school is doing this. It doesn't matter...let it be. What harm is nail polish? Is it laced with something?
This story about the nail polish travesty has convinced me there are some people who definitely have too much time on their hands. I would compliment him on the excellent attention to detail, he’s got talent☺️
How sad that this teen lives a Stone throw away from my town and how he has his 15 minutes of fame. This is three times that my little hometown has appeared in such large media news. The last one was the killing and stuffing of a female in the refrigerator. The other a terrorist
Well..
Texas has always had a problem just letting people be people.
How dumb
We had male students wearing black nail polish back in the 80's! One was an honor student, and caused no harm to anyone! Leave him alone, he's in school getting an education!
Its called rules.
Something about boys wearing nail polish being against the school's dress code?
Kid takes off mask tho. Teachers:
So no hard rockers allowed either?
This is a tiny town in west Texas so while it's still ridiculous it's not at all surprising.
Why do educators care what’s on a student’s nails? Aren’t students there to learn? Nail polish doesn’t keep you from learning. I’m sure females are allowed to wear it. Students are also sent home over hair length & color. Educators get over it! Focus on learning. That’s your job.
How stupid! Do they have nothing better to do than pick on kids for showing their individuality?
oh grow up, Texas
That crazy and stupid. A student should wear nail polish even if they are guys.
Texas is a backwards state - So ridiculous
Don’t they have better things to worry about?
Has that school sent girls home for painted nails? Of all of the problems in our public schools, and this is an issue? That young man's family needs to sue that school for discrimination.
Kalaax008 Come on. Really? Geez.
That’s dumb.
Lawsuit....
Kids are school right now...? 😜
Bet you they are republicans.
Only Texas would they still be behind the times! EqualityForAll Freedom
I bite my nails, so i wear nail polish. Nevertheless, what a dumb reason to get kicked out of school.
Seriously? That's dumb🤦♀️
That’s just stupid!!!! Texas
This is what they're Worried about ? Nothing more pressing going on ?
Fuck this school.
🤔
Good. It is about time we started taking a step back and being judgmental again.
You know what? Screw em. I had 4 boys and they liked their toenails painted, cuz, god forbid you put it on your fingers, the schools will freak out, I mean, they are boys! I say, fly your freak flag high, boo, and fight em. Jackasses
those nails look kinda fire too wth texas :/
LMAO.. Steve Kornaki is now on NBC Sports, predicting who will make the Playoffs in the NFL..😂 You can't make this SH** up.
Ridiculous
For nail polish?
It was probably because he needed a fill.
Got to respect the rules!
jesus. My white bread conservative suburban high school in Indiana didn't even care about guys painting their nails 20 years ago when I was a student.
Was Candace Owens the principal?
Doesn’t Texas have one of the lowest literacy rates in the country? Don’t they have thousands of people dying from COVID-19 and hospitals overflowing with patients? Not to mention sprawling gun violence? Seems like they have more important things to worry about than nail polish
'calls out' Only LGBTs say this.
And he called 'em out. Good!
Oh🙏
Good on him fuck that school
How unfortunate
Wtf is wrong with that school
Only in Texas we have bigger problems
Hey! Those nails look good! What is school policy on them? I graduated in 1973; don’t remember any problem with fems wearing it then. Anyone should be allowed to wear it now. Tempest in a teapot. Got REAL problems now; focus people!
..just too much..
i still say this is wrong, if he was putting it on during school yes, he should be disciplined just like a girl putting makeup in class...so what he had it on expressing himself just like a girl going to school with hair dye...it's discrimination...and needs to re rectified.
He knew the rules and chose to defy them. He deserves the punishment. If he felt the dress code needed updated he should have presented it another way. You play, you pay
In my high school years, a boy who wore nail polish would be beaten up by his peers, so I guess this is an improvement.
Once Upon a time , there was a place where men were men and women, women... THREE STOOGIES.
He had me until he knowingly violated the school dress code. If he wanted it changed, he could have gone to the principal and school board before doing it. Just because it's sexist and ridiculous doesn't mean it is ok to break the rules. Actions have consequences.
All school dress code policy must update with these changes to commentate student looks.
This made national news?
your news suck!
Fragile egos and easily threatened by insignificant things.
My guy needs a refill . Looking crusty
Oh please!!! Find something else to worry about.....
Texas, where it’s ok to display assault rifles but no nail polish.
🤔😡😡😡😡 this is so fuckup
Gay or not he should follow the school dress code, that's the rules, as simple as that
Isn't there something more important than nail polish to be worrying about?
How? Do they do this to female students? Conservatives are some whiny bunch.
I wish I had long enough nails to GET that kind of manicure!
Clyde High School & district officials are exposed for the bigots they are. Their policy doesn’t remotely stand scrutiny. It’s blatantly sexist & obviously homophobic. Gimme a break. Looks like the student has become the teacher...yet again.
Wear the stupid nail polish if you want...but dang them cuticles tho 😳
Texas da fuq is wrong with you? He can wear nail polish if he wants. It’s 2020.
Keep enforcing your your school policy Clyde! Don’t let everyone’s “feelings” try to stop you. 🙄
Rules are rules folks.
This school still has 1950 rules?
That's ridiculous. There are plenty of reasons for wearing nail polish. Of course, these same people resist wearing masks. = Save the jaguar
talkn3rdytome33 Texas has some draconian-ass dress code shit.
The school would of course think it was perfectly fine if the young man went off to Iraq in a few years, and had his entire arm blown off ...
So he is crying over a dress code? He knows the rules but wants them broken for his benefit? Typical. It’s the school rules, not his rules.
This is ridiculous. Not even remotely important. Let kids express themselves. He isnt hurting anyone.

This is 2020. They’re finger nails. Get over it.
Priorities, people!
I mean wtf is wrong with u. What are u doing among those dumbasses. Get homeschooling. That closed-minded school deserves to be closed. Not respecting diversity is not discrimination. It is a crime.
Texans seem to have no shame - or tolerance. We are all weird, boys wearingnail polish should not cause suspension from school
Whatever! Why is everybody in Texas freaking out?
How I loathe conformity.
The punk / goth kids in my HS used to wear black nail polish. Nobody gave a damn and that was in the 90’s.
They Need To Make Schools For Males Who Like To Wear That Stuff! Parents Send Children To School To Get Educated & Because They Trust That Schools Will Protect/Respect Their Children. If He Wants To Model He Should Go To Modeling School!👍🤦♂️🤦♂️😷😷 They Want Everyone To Be LGBTQ.
Doesn’t the principal at this school have some pandemic control to manage? Nit picky, micromanaging MF.
But the school has to be strict, if they let it slide, someone will come with pink hair, next thing u know, u've lost control. It seems petty but it can distract other students
YES BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT IS IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW! WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?
I got suspended for fighting a few times, no brainer .. is there a no nail polish on dudes rule at the school?
How is this legal? This would never fly in New Jersey
I would think the school should be worrying more about kids education then nail polish.
If it’s in their dress code, this isn’t news.
NO ONE BELIEVES YOUR MALIGNANTLY BIASED REPORTING
Never let the patients run the mental hospital.
Rather than run against the system, change it. When you enroll in a school with a dress code, you agreed to follow it. Don’t like it? Work to change it or go elsewhere.
C'mon now, what's the problem with those beautiful nails? Oh, he's a boy... guess that school is still in the 80s...Ugh
Sure more to the story..
A big then that school got on to men about was facial hair like it was very annoying especially when all teachers and superintendent have it but students were disallowed.
texas and it’s representative tedcruz still in 19th century
The gay mob should be all over this!
Texas elected teddie cruiser, the most incompetent ugly thing since they became a state and they worry about a guy with nail polish. Scary
Sounds like the school is infringing on his rights.
Texas. Of course. Could have been Florida, too.
This is old, tired and misrepresented fakenews FakeNews lamestreammedia
Morality code masquerading within the dress code. Revise the code and flog the progenitors and these mindless drones called school principals for enforcing such nonsense about makeup.
This bothers me,why are they doing in school classes during this pandemic?
'student knowingly violates school rules and is accordingly suspended' fixedit
When will they learn!
How the flying F*** IS THIS NEWSWORTHY
If girls are allowed to have nail polish then the kid should sue the hell out of those out of touch with the world hypercritical A HOLES

Anyone can wear nail polish. Everyone needs to grow the fuck up.
those are pretty cool nails, I’d give him an A in art class.
Who cares about mail polish.
Very backward action by the school. And educators wonder why students don’t like school.
He knew the rules. He broke the rules. It’s that simple folks.
😆😆😆😆😆😆
It looks like a big distraction. So the school was probably right to protect the rights of the rest of the student body to learn without such distractions. To prepare for the ultra-competitive global economy, students need every minute of learning time that they can get.
I remember iss, all day in an 8x8 room
If the student said he was transitioning to female he could have gotten away with no suspension.
Is it 1950? Good for him.
Wrong
these kind of rules are not helping anybody they are more for those in control to feel more in control
Now the whole school should come in with nails painted, what they gonna do then
OMG people get a life. Who cares who wears nail polish. Our world is falling about and you’re worrying about someone who is wearing nail polish. How sad
🙏🏻❤️Can someone help us please! I am a single father of 2. I just claimed my last available unemployment benefits this week. I'm hoping to find a new job or get stimulus to keep a place to stay past 12/31. If you can spare it anything helps 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️please God we don't need a lot
You can’t wear nail-polish in school?
You do you, Trev, but keep your grades up. Education increases your options.
I guess some administrator is real proud of themself...unbelievable
Teen males in 2020 wear colorful nail polish. Deal with it.
Welcome to Texas. This is so old. Unbelievable.
Good for Him
Tell them to fuck right off.
These people do not value Freedom
He? Lol
Ooh, what a rebel.
