LEBANON, Indiana -Formerly there existed a policy for the Lebanon school district which barred females from wearing a tuxedo to their school proms. The policy has been re-evaluated in order to allow a 17-year old student to wear a tux to her prom.
The female student filed a lawsuit during the ides of march '09. Court filings conclude that the unidentified girl is lesbian and that wearing a dress to her prom forces her to represent a sexual identity in which she rejects.
The vote took place today for the schoolboard to make a final decision. The board's superintendant Rob Taylor has stated that formal attire is requird to attend the prom, although the dress code requirments will not be 'gender-based'. Sources say that the girl is please with the success of her case and will be happy to attend her prom in April dressed in a tux.
