Student Aniya Wolf was kept out of her high school prom because she was breaking "dress code." She was wearing a suit. 
 
 According to ABC 27, Wolf arrived to the dance at Bishop McDevitt on Friday only to be kicked out. Apparently, they were enforcing a dress code that "specified girls must wear formal dresses." Wolf wrote on Facebook that the principal even threatened to call the cops.

 Wolf, who identifies as lesbian, has dressed less traditionally feminine ever since she was little. Throughout her past three years at Bishop McDevitt, her uniform has been a shirt and pants. 
 
 After Wolf had already purchased a suit, there was reportedly a last-minute email stating that girls had to wear dresses to the prom. Wolf's mother, Carolyn, called the school to complain. Like most teenagers, Aniya wasn't deterred by the notice. She was excited for the dance and decided to go anyway. 
 
 She told ABC 27, "I think my experience shouldn’t be any different than anyone else’s because of something I was born with." 
 
 The school posted a statement to their Facebook page on Saturday night.

 "Bishop McDevitt will continue to practice acceptance and love for all of our students," even though the school apparently couldn't allow a girl to enter the dance in a version of the clothes she had been wearing to school daily. 
 
 Many have taken to the comments to show their support for Aniya, including fellow McDevitt students. 
 
 This isn't the first time a high school student has been barred from a dance for reasons similar to Aniya's experience. Hopefully this trend does not continue next prom season. 
 
 H/T Slate, ABC 27 ||||| HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) – A Midstate high school student had the experience of a lifetime at her prom Friday night, but not in the way her family expected. 
 
 Aniya Wolf was thrown out of Bishop McDevitt’s prom. 
 
 Ever since Wolf was a little girl, she dressed like a boy. 
 
 “I’ve just always been like this, ever since I was little,” Wolf said. “I was always more masculine. You wouldn’t catch me playing with any Barbie dolls, I’ll tell you that right now.” 
 
 Wolf is not transgender. She was born a girl and feels like a girl. She is a lesbian who does not want to wear girly clothes. 
 
 Throughout her three years at Bishop McDevitt, her school uniform was strictly a shirt and pants. 
 
 Then something suddenly changed, according to the Wolf family. The family said a last-minute email explained girls had to wear a dress to prom. 
 
 Wolf’s mom called the school. “I told them that I had read the dress code that was given to the students and I didn’t think that it precluded her from wearing a suit. I said that this was very unfair, particularly at the last minute. We had gone out and bought a new suit. I think my daughter is beautiful in a suit,” Carolyn Wolf said. 
 
 Wolf had been looking forward to this night for so long, she decided to go over anyway but was thrown out. 
 
 “I think my experience shouldn’t be any different than anyone else’s because of something I was born with,” she said outside of her prom. 
 
 She said a school official took her by the arm and said she was going to call the police, so Wolf left. 
 
 “You know, a lot of girls’ dresses, I mean I’m not saying that all of them are this way, but they do show a lot of skin, she said. “I think I’m dressed pretty modestly.” 
 
 Bishop McDevitt did not want to comment. 
 
 Wolf says she feels very accepted by her fellow students, but she says school officials make her feel like “a mistake.”
– Aniya Wolf has always felt "more masculine" than other girls. That wasn't an issue during her three years at Bishop McDevitt High School in Harrisburg, Pa., where she dressed in pants. But a similar outfit got her kicked out of her prom on Friday. Aniya, who identifies as lesbian, says she had already bought a suit for the event when her mom got a last-minute email saying girls had to wear formal dresses. "I told [the school] that I had read the dress code … and I didn't think that it precluded her from wearing a suit. I said that this was very unfair, particularly at the last minute," her mom tells WHTM. Aniya decided to wear her suit anyway and her mom says she looked "beautiful." But when Aniya arrived at the prom, she says the principal threatened to call police, and so she went home. "We love, respect, and cherish all of our students," the school says in a Facebook post. But the dress code—which the school says it sent to parents three months ago—"specified girls must wear formal dresses. It also stated that students who failed to follow the dress code would not be admitted." Bishop McDevitt student Jacklyn Motter responded to the post with a lengthy comment, per the Daily Dot; in it, she says the experience left her ashamed of her school, particularly since students who fail classes and show up high or drunk "get admitted to prom WITHOUT A PROBLEM. ... What a terrible memory to take with me as I prepare to graduate." (A Louisiana student had a similar experience.)
