SUMMARY: A US District Court judge denied a temporary injunction that would have allowed a transgender girl to wear female clothes to the Harrison Central High School graduation. The 17-year-old girl was represented by the American Civil Liberties Union, but the judge did not issue a statement about why the request was denied. In response to the ruling, Linda Morris of the American Civil Liberties Union said, “No one should be forced to miss their graduation because of their gender.” The student did not participate in her graduation ceremony due to the school’s decision.
