Can Mississippi high schools get no love from the ACLU? There was the Constance McMillen fracas that got Itawamba County School District to fork over $35,000 and institute a non-discrimination policy. And now the civil liberties group is going after the Wesson Attendance Center for excluding lesbian Ceara Sturgis' yearbook photo where she sported a tuxedo.
(The school ended up printing yearbooks without even including Sturgis' name.)
A federal lawsuit claims Sturgis' rights under Title IX and the 14th Amendment were violated. At the very least, they could've printed the superlative "Most Likely To Sue."

Asking a serious question now, I want to know. This is twice now this has come up in Mississippi. Do High Schools in other states allow transexual pictures in yearbooks (boys dressing like girls and vice versa)? I've just never heard of this, I don't know why this got to be a thing in Mississippi. Is it commonplace in High Schools in other states? I'm curious.
