    The most insidious part of this story is the fact that the school supports an annual "Backwards Beauty and Beau Pageant," in which students cross-dress for Fun and Prizes. And thus we understand that the school encourages *mockery* of non-traditional gender expression while banning a student's *genuine* embrace of her sartorial preferences--and, by extension, her lesbian identity.

    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

    I'm a yearbook adviser at a high school in North Carolina, and we have a student like Ceara who doesn't dress like a girl EVER. I had to inform the photographers that there was no problem with her wearing a tux, and that she would be included without issue, because they were trying to tell her she had to wear the drape for it. She's coming and getting her photo made, which is awesome. It's one of the two approved outfits. Where's the issue? #tuxedoyearbookpicture

    "I tried on the drape and it looked ridiculous. It was terrible" said Sturgis.

    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

    She looks like a band geek here. Ha, if she were one, it would have been the school asking her to dress that way.

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

    Somebody needs to start a FREE CEARA tumblr or something. This is almost boring it's so ridiculous. Poor dear.

    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

    It's a shame that one of these "scandals" pops up every single year, either with yearbook photos or proms or whatever else.

    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

    Oy, tomorrow cannot come soon enough. I cannot wait for the day that we live in a society that outright recognizes that this kind of discrimination is wrong, plain and simple.

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