Just over a week ago, a male teenager in Georgia felt pushed out of school because he could not wear women's clothes.  People all over the net commented that girls wear boys clothes so turn about was fair play.  According to recent news, that is not true. In Jackson Mississippi was not allowed to wear a tuxedo for her senior picture.  She preferred it to the dressy drape that girls were required to wear for the photo. 

"She is battling officials at Wesson Attendance Center in the Copiah County (Miss.) School District, who have refused to include the photo in the school yearbook... Superintendent Ricky Clopton said the school district's attorney has assured him they are within their rights to exclude the photo."

Uniforms are looking pretty good right now, but it still wouldn't solve this yearbook issue.
