The father of a nine-year-old footy fan has been left more heartbroken by the reaction his son received at school for wearing a Blues jersey, than by the Blues Origin loss last night.

Lachlan Palmer and his father Dane are two of the proudest Blues supporters you will find in enemy territory, with both speaking exclusively to A Current Affair reporter Pippa Bradshaw about yesterday’s incident at school.

As soon as Lachlan had scootered through the front gate of Pimpama State Primary College he was quickly sent to the head office after being approached about his attire.

“I was wearing my Blues t-shirt and they said where's your uniform?" he said.

The boy was then allegedly told to either get changed in to his school uniform or be sent home but after refusing to take off his favourite teams’ jersey, his father Dane was called in and Lachlan was suspended for the day.

“They sent me to the office and said I had to go home,” Lachlan said.

According to Dane, Lachlan came home from school on Tuesday saying his teacher told him he could wear his favourite team shirt, which Dean himself fully supported, but apparently that wasn’t the case, even though teachers at the Gold Coast state primary school were wearing their team jerseys.

The father of the young boy says he questioned the school when coming to collect his son, believing they may have been singling him out.

“There's teachers there with maroons, is it cause he is in blue?" Dane said he asked the staff.

The decision to suspend Lachlan has been a disappointing experience for the Palmer family and one which father Dane doesn’t understand.

“I think any kid, you know, especially a Blues supporter, should be able to show their colours," he said.

The Palmers think the school should have made an exception and don’t understand why Origin couldn’t be one of the multiple free dress days the school has throughout the year.

Dane says the whole ordeal has knocked his son’s confidence.

“He is not confident anymore at the school and it sucks," Dane said.

Triple M Breakfast Host and former Wallaby Greg Martin believes a little sanity should prevail in circumstances such as this.

“If you're into things, aren't we supposed to be inclusive?” he said.

Lachlan, who has a learning disability, now says he may have misunderstood his teacher telling him he could wear his favourite colours, but won’t stop proudly wearing his jersey with his father during future Origin days, which his father supports.

“Dress codes are dress codes but on sporting days follow your dreams man, you know, wear it with pride,” Dane said.
