[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think they look nice and it helps family members pick them out of a crowd. But maybe that was my school- my graduating class was over 1k.[/quote]

How about the trans kids then?  kids who are they/them? [/quote]

There are a miniscule number of trans kids and presumably they would wear the color of the gender with which they identify. This isn't hard. Why are trying to make it so?[/quote]

There are lots of nonbinary kids who don't identify with either gender, and thus, can't do what you are suggesting.

It's a stupid tradition.  My high school used to have separate valedictorians, male and female.  That was also a stupid tradition.  There is no reason not to just have one color.  [/quote]

They can still pick whichever color they prefer to wear.  Everyone.  Not just the transgender/non-binary students.
The "reason" for 2 colors is USUALLY school colors, of which there are typically two.  The poster whose school put the girls in white probably did so nobody had to wear an ugly yellow or gold.[/quote]

If everyone is picking the color they like then how are the boys in one color and the girls in another?

Having two colors, with everyone picking what the like is fine.  Assigning colors by gender is silly at best and can be hurtful.  [/quote]
