Boy in dress banned from his prom
This is Kevin Logan. Kevin, 18, is a student at West Side High School in Gary, Indiana, and all year long, he has worn makeup, women's accessories, and women's jeans to school. So imagine his surprise when he arrived at his prom and was told he could not stay because of the gown he was wearing. Logan received a refund for his prom ticket, but is considering contacting the ACLU about his being barred from his own prom.
A Gary school system official says that Logan was not allowed to attend his prom because of a rule prohibiting males from wearing dresses.

So if a girl came in pants, then she would have been sent home too? I wish that I could say they are living in the dark ages but sadly that is the way that many people here in this screwed up country feel.

Ah, good point. But I'm sure it isn't against the rules for girls to wear pants.

This is not my area of law, but (at least based on first principles) it seems difficult to imagine a legal justification for the school's position.
