A Mississippi transgender high school student will not attend graduation after a federal judge said on Friday the school district could bar the teen from wearing a dress to walk across the stage and collect her"long-awaited diploma."
Administrators at Harrison Central High School informed the teen less than two weeks before the event there was a dress code policy for the May 20 graduation which states girls"must wear a white dress and dress shoes," and that boys"must wear a white button-down shirt, black dress pants, black dress shoes, and a tie or bowtie," according to court documents. Administrators said the teen must adhere to the boys' dress code.
There is"no legitimate interest or justification," to deny the teen from wearing a dress on"the final and perhaps most important event of her high school career," the lawsuit read. "Our client should be focused on celebrating this life milestone alongside her friends and loved ones," said the ACLU of Mississippi in a social media post."Instead, this ruling casts shame and humiliation on a day that should be focused on joy and pride."
