In a Texas district where 80% of the people identify as Republican, Trevor Wilkinson, 17, has made a difference. The Clyde School Board has voted to change the wording of the student handbook so guidelines do not single out genders.
Wilkinson had received an in-school suspension for his painted nails. Wilkinson started a petition for support that received over 400,000 signatures, saying that if girls are allowed to paint their nails, boys should not be reprimanded for doing the same.
