No, perhaps you should. The same quote says that the Principle has the authority to set standards.Clearly the Principle set out a dress code for the event, and she broke it. Lesbian, straight, whatever... that makes no damn difference. She broke a pre-set dress code, and so there should be absolutely no issue with this punishment.
To try and make this into an equality issue is grossly disproportionate. You should respect a dress code. To say that she is allowed to break the rules BECAUSE she is a lesbian is blatant discrimination and wrong. The same rules must apply to all. Anyone who broke the dress code would have had the same fate.
If you don't like dress codes, don't go- but the Principle had a right to set one. Simple as that.
Where does it state in the article that the principal established a dress code for yearbook photos and distributed it to students? Nowhere. In fact, the attourney for the school district even stated that there was no established dress code for the year book photographs and that the decision not to include her photograph in the year book was the discretion of the principal.

Bruce Bickner, an attorney representing the School Board, said there is no written dress code for senior pictures, but also said the district gives principals the authority to set standards .

indicates that the principal can set a dress code, it doesnt mentioned that he/she did, not before this event occured anyway
No, what it indicates is that the principal can enforce a standard at his discretion.
Let us not forget that the girl was allowed to be photographed in the tuxedo. The decision to disclude her photograph from the year book was made after the fact.

They had no right to exclude her photo from the year book, it was a tux its not the same as a man wearing a dress or anything cos women are now accepted as wearing clothes that were originally for men
but it is the same as a guy wearing a dress, and anything said otherwise is the sort of pointless discrimination thats become such a massive deal nowadays

Article from the Associated PressGreen Cove Springs, Florida - The picture of a lesbian student dressed in a tuxedo will not be permitted in her school's yearbook, the Clay County school officials decided.
Principal Sam Ward of Fleming Island High School made the initial decision to pull Kelli Davis's picture from the yearbook, saying he did so because Davis, who is openly gay, was dressed in boy's clothes...
Only in America 🙄 bangin
For f*ck's sake, why do ppl make such a big deal out of nothing?
It's just a damn Yearbook 😬
If anyone told me that my picture isn't accepted in an album, for any reason at all, id just tell him/her to shove it somewhere.

I am saying that if you want to wear a dress in your year book photo, it is none of my business. It is certain that a number of people will wear something I do not approve of but that does not mean they should not be allowed to wear what they want. If I disapprove, I can simply choose not to look at the offensive photograph, it is that simple.
