School officials also stopped a girl wearing black pants from participating but told her that if she took her pants off she could participate even without a dress.
https://www.kktv.com/2023/05/22/transgender-student-who-sued-over-graduation-dress-code-tells-her-story/ Caren Dallas, Jai’s mother, says a supervisor told her daughter that she could not wear black pants underneath her gown. “She tells her that she can take her pants off and walk the stage, but she needed white shoes. So, she could walk in her underwear, but she can’t walk in pants,” an emotional Caren Dallas said. “This is something that she achieved, you know, that she worked hard for.” |
Imagine being a state ranked as low as Mississippi in education and thinking what the kids wore to graduation was the problem. Imagine how many books they could buy or teachers they could pay with the damages when this girl inevitably wins a lawsuit. |
I have to tell you an adult saying to my high school student to take off their pants and walk in her underwear is getting reported to law enforcement and sued under whatever statute exists for protecting minors for sexual harassment. |
Here’s the local TV newscast with interviews with students and parents. Also news that the principal did not attend the graduation “due to family obligations.” Expect the Principal to leave or be fired for allowing the student to dress as a girl all year and for making it known that the strict dress code enforcement was imposed by the Superintendent.

Why can't your kid wear appropriate clothes for the occasion? Also, when people fail to wear the appropriate clothes, then finding quick solutions is what resourceful people do. Not file lawsuits. |
Who are you? Why are you so obsessed with being able to have easy access to women’s private parts, which is why you want them to wear dresses? |
Who are you? I'm a woman who has worn a dress before, including to graduation. And as far as I know, a dress is not worn for the purpose of providing other people access to private parts. You sound totally nuts, sorry not sorry. |
Sorry, some of us believe that Human Rights should not vary by what region of the USA you happened to be born in. |
federalism? |
Except you do care and are concerning yourself with this. Step aside and let her be if you think it is of no matter what she wears. I agree with you on that. |
NP why do you believe a dress is not appropriate for a trans girl to wear at graduation? |
You think it’a appropriate to wear only underwear under a cap and gown as the student was told she could do? Ok. |
I don't care what a student wears under the graduation gown. I don't even care if they wear the gown.
But it's high school graduation ceremony and no way I would have sued. In a lifetime, it's honestly just not that important or memorable. They missed nothing by not being there. They graduated. They have a high school diploma. That's all the matters in the long run. |
Don't you understand that this is the tip of the iceberg? |
The kid was wearing appropriate clothes, and then an adult in a position of authority told them to *take off their appropriate clothes and walk publicly in their undergarments* that’s…pretty much the definition of sexual abuse. |
