Texas: Trans student not allowed in yearbook wearing a tuxedo


Why would anyone care what someone wears in their high school yearbook photo?

Officials at the Texas school want to stop Jeydon Loredo, a male student, from being featured in the yearbook wearing his tuxedo like every other boy, simply because he’s transgender.

This kind of discrimination isn't just wrong - it's in direct violation of federal law and the school's very own policies.
 
The issue has been appealed to the school board with the help of our partners in this effort, the Southern Poverty Law Center. Jeydon’s family has asked equality supporters like you to help ensure that Jeydon can appear in the school’s yearbook wearing his tuxedo.

Send a message to the La Feria School Board that this is wrong by clicking here.
