In both my hs and college graduations, everyone wore a black robe. I've only been to 2 graduations where boys and girls wear different colors. For example, at my cousin's graduation, the boys wore white and the girls wore baby blue, the school's 2 colors. But I don't think it's super common in this area.

This is the very first time I've ever heard of this happening but I just so happened to come across it after seeing this thread: http://shine.yahoo.com/parenting/hig...192900808.html

And in New Mexico, a transgender student was essentially pushed out of his commencement ceremony by being told he had to wear a white robe, for girls, instead of a black robe, for boys, at the private St. Pius X school. As a result, the student, Damian Garcia, chose to skip it.

All of the other stories included in this article are just as ridiculous. A feather hanging from your grad cap gets you a $1,000 fine?! Please.
