Graduating high school is a moment youāll never forgetā but for one South Carolina teen and Class of 2020 graduate, itāll be a memory she wonāt forget for all the wrong reasons. Dynasia Clark, a senior from Lamar High School in Darlington County, says she was banned from walking at her high school graduation because she wore pants instead of a dress.
She was already in attendance that day, preparing to walk the stage and become an official High School Graduate when she found out just before the ceremony that she wouldnāt be able to walk with her classmates.
āI didnāt think it would be that big of a deal, because weāre already here, weāre already fixing to walk but now I canāt go because of a dress code,ā Clark told ABC NEWS.
Being openly gay, Clark wanted to feel comfortable in this moment but she didnāt get that chance. The hurt didnāt stop there, though. Clark said what hurt her the most is they didnāt call her name or recognize her at all, even though they knew she was still there; they omitted her from the program.
