Transgender girl denied graduation due to dress code.

A transgender girl in Mississippi was told by school officials to dress like a boy for her high school graduation ceremony, and a federal judge refused to block the order. The American Civil Liberties Union sued the district on behalf of the teen and her parents, but the judge upheld the school's decision, arguing that attending the ceremony is voluntary and not a constitutionally protected right. The teen had met all the qualifications to receive a diploma and had even selected a white dress to wear with her cap and gown. Mississippi lawmakers have introduced over 30 bills this year aimed at limiting the rights of LGBTQ citizens.
