I would reluctantly agree, HOWEVER it was not a matter of wearing something in conflict with the rules, rather the principal told him to change because it looked like cross dressing. If my son ever were to be told he can't wear his pentagram in school and I find that they are not stopping people wearing crosses, you bet your *** that the admin will see fury from me. Likewise, if the school rules dictate no jewelry, and it is enforced strictly, then I would have no grounds to complain.

The kid didn't break any rules, he wasn't sticking it to the man. He stood up for himself. He didn't break the dress code, and the principal made a very inappropriate comment.
