A transgender girl was unable to attend her high school graduation because the school insisted that she wear a suit.
According to the ACLU of Mississippi, Harrison Central High School asked 17-year-old student “L.B.” to follow the boys’ dress code for the graduation ceremony, which included clothing typically associated with boys such as pants, socks, and shoes.
However, L.B. had already purchased a dress and heels for the ceremony before being informed about the dress code. In response, the ACLU took legal action on behalf of L.B. and her family by filing a lawsuit against the school district.
Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worse when a U.S. district judge denied L.B.’s emergency plea.
The graduation ceremony occurred on Saturday, and multiple reports confirmed that L.B. was absent for her special day.
