Does the school also sponsor minstrel shows?
Beyond the obvious idiocy motivating this principal's decision, might we all agree that a well-cut tux will always trump a saggy, shiny graduation drape for senior portrait attire? Can I get a witness? #tuxedoyearbookpicture

The plot thickens. I think this was a situation where they made all the girls wear "the drape" which consisted of a piece of marabou and glitter fabric arranged across your chest so that everybody in the yearbook looked like they were wearing the same strapless ballgown for their pic.
It was mandatory for our class in the early 1990s. The effect in the yearbook was pages and pages of clone-like consistency. It didn't matter if you didn't want your bare shoulders showing or you hated the way "the drape" looked. You had to wear it.
I had no idea they were still making people do that. It was a not-so-subtle easy way to immediately separate the boys from the girls. Because if your gender can't be determined from 50 feet away, clearly you are a threat to high schools everywhere and must be erased. #tuxedoyearbookpicture

Bets are on as to the kids in the pictures to the left and right of hers if this gets printed. #tuxedoyearbookpicture

Her hair is kind of epic. Plus.
Whatever, I'm sick at home, so I might as well call that dickwad principal every hour on the hour tomorrow. God. #tuxedoyearbookpicture

For one thing, she should be able to wear whatever the fuck she wants. For another, she looks great. I hope her family sues the school and wins. Or, you know, that the school realizes how wrong they are before it comes to that. #tuxedoyearbookpicture

But as the story about the interracial couple in LA is teaching me, this may never end.
