A federal judge says he will not block a Mississippi school district from requiring a transgender girl to dress as a boy for high school graduation
JACKSON, Miss. — — A federal judge says he will not block a Mississippi school district from requiring a transgender girl to dress as boy for high school graduation.
The girl, listed in court papers by her initials L.B., had chosen a dress to wear with her cap and gown Saturday at Harrison Central High School in Gulfport, a coastal town about 160 miles south of Jackson. Graduating boys are expected to wear white shirts and black slacks, while girls are expected to wear white dresses.
The Associated Press left phone and email messages with the ACLU Saturday to ask whether L.B.'s family will appeal the judge's decision not to issue a temporary restraining order against the school district and whether she will participate in the graduation ceremony.
