A transgender student in Mississippi missed her high school graduation after a judged denied a request to dress in line with her gender identity and not the school's dress code.
"All Mississippi students should have the right and autonomy to be who they are—not who judges and school officials think they should be," the ACLU said in a statement. Brianna Herlihy is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
According to a report in The Associated Press, the ACLU sued the district after Harrison Central High School principal Kelly Fuller and school district superintendent Mitchell King told L.B. to dress according to the men's dress code. Graduating men are expected to wear white shirts and black slacks, while girls are expected to wear white dresses.
