A Mississippi school superintendent said Friday that previous federal court rulings back up a principal's decision to keep the teenage lesbian's picture out of a high school yearbook. The Copiah County School District has been threatened with legal action over the school's refusal to include the picture of Sturgis wearing a tuxedo. Female students at Wesson Attendance Center dress have traditionally worn drapes in yearbook photos, while males have worn tuxedos. (AP Photo/Rogelio V. Solis)
