Well, I think our dress code was something like:

Guys: coat, collared shirt, tie
Women: nice blouse or sweater

So yeah, technically, a guy could wear a shirt with a lace collar (LOL) and a woman could wear a tuxedo shirt - if you look at your mom's old pictures there are probably some of when women were wearing those hideous string ties and floppy bow ties. Even with a dress code, you're right, she didn't violate it.

The best thing to do nowadays if you want to avoid situations like this is to have everyone wear caps & gowns like k_s said, or for the guys to wear a (photog-provided) tux or suit jacket w/ tie and girls to wear a drape.

Your school must've cared more than mine. We just had to abide by the basic daily dress code (e.g. no spaghetti straps) and couldn't wear sunglasses or hats. Basically nothing scandalous and nothing that prevented you from being seen. I'm pretty sure my school administration would've LOVED a female student that wore a tuxedo shirt- less skin showing!

Maybe one of the earlier articles said... What PC rationale did they give for pulling her from the yearbook? Just dress code and hair cut? If so, they apparently should've banned her from the school entirely. Or um... you know, talked to her and retaken the photo. Ugh.

I totally don't see how this is legal. Where is the GLAAD legal defense fund?
