A high school senior in Stockton, California, claims her yearbook photo was left out of the final version because she was wearing a tuxedo instead of a dress.
Crystal Cumplido, seen smiling from ear to ear in her photo, told told KTXL-TV that she was upset when she found out that her senior portrait was not published in Lincoln High School's yearbook.
“It’s like I didn’t even exist in Lincoln,” she said.
Wearing a black tuxedo and red bowtie, Cumplido says the assistant principal told her that she was left out of the yearbook because she did not follow proper policy.
"He told me that I wasn't following policy, that girls are supposed to wear the black, little shirt over whatever," Cumplido said.
Superintendent Tom Uslan of Lincoln Unified School District supports Cumplido, saying it was an "inexcusable error" and that they are willing to republish the entire school's yearbook to include her.
