Dr. Phillips student banned from wearing Trojan condom costume



Jack Englund wanted to bring a safe-sex message to his classmates at Dr. Phillips High School on Tuesday. So he dressed up as Trojan Man for a school spirit "character day," wearing a red cape and a blue poster board decorated to look like a condom wrapper.

School officials were not amused. His first-period teacher sent him to the office, where a dean made him remove the costume.

But Jack, a 17-year-old tuba player in the school's performing arts magnet, said he didn't consider the costume inappropriate.

But district spokeswoman Kathy Marsh said school officials may prevent students from wearing anything that may "cause an undue disruption to the normal order of classroom business."
