"'I was suspended for being gay': Student, 17, says school kicked him out for wearing high heels
Asante Cotman suspended for three days in Virginia
Claims headteacher said he was disrupting lessons
But teen felt 'suicidal after suffering discrimination'
An angry 17-year-old male student claims he felt suicidal after being booted out of high school for 'being gay and wearing high heels'.
Asante Cotman, of Charles City County, Virginia, was allegedly told to remove his heels because he was disrupting lessons at Charles City High.
The teen claimed he was not bothering anyone but the school principal suspended him for three days and allegedly told him not to come back.
"They suspended me for being gay," he told NBC affiliate WWBT. "I don't understand disrupting the class, because nobody was talking about it. Everybody was doing their work," Asante added. "People have seen me wear heels before. People see me with a pocketbook every day."
