Transgender Teen Barred from Wearing Dress to Graduation, Skips Ceremony

A transgender girl in Mississippi was prohibited from wearing a dress to her high school graduation and will not attend the ceremony.
The school district required her to follow the male dress code, and a federal judge upheld the decision.
The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit on behalf of the teen and her family arguing it was discrimination.
The school district claimed that participating in graduation is voluntary and not a constitutionally protected right.
LGBTQ advocates criticized the ruling while conservatives support the school district's policy.
