An Indiana Girl (who is remaining unnamed) is suing her school because of their refusal to allow her to wear a tuxedo to the school prom.
The girl's attorney at the ACLU of Indiana argues that the district's policy violates the U.S. Constitution and the students First Amendment right to free speech. He also states that this is in violation of Title IX, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of gender in school.
It seems like there really shouldn't be a problem here. A girl wants to wear pants instead of a dress. Is this really such a big deal? What do you think is behind the school not wanting her to wear a tux?
What if it was a guy that wanted to wear a dress ? One student in Wisconsin did, see image below and click on link to read his story.
What if the student wanted to wear a barely there outfit instead?
Do you think there needs to be gender specific dress codes for prom?
