Maybe there's an older sister who has one and he likes it.
Maybe he saw one in a show and asked his parents for it.
Why does it bother you?
It doesn't bother me. I just think it's a ridiculous comment here. Because frankly, I think my (and most people's) reaction to a 5 year old boy wanting to wear (his sister's?) pink tutu to school every day for a month would be, "Put your pants on."
Would you say the same thing if your 5 year old daughter wanted to wear a pink tutu to school everyday?
Of course I would. Pink tutus do not belong in school. (Or on little boys, either, except maybe one time as a great ha ha, but that's a separate issue.)

And this attitude is exactly why non-traditional families who seek a welcoming environment need to research prospective schools carefully.
Exactly. So Cisexist.
