Prom night is one of the most memorable moments in the life of a high school student. Aniya Wolf is not likely to forget hers because her school had her thrown out for wearing a suit.

Like any other student at Bishop McDevitt High School, Wolf was excited for prom. She feels every bit of a girl but she's not fond of wearing girly clothes. This was not an issue with her family and wasn't as well for the school until prom rolled around.

Throughout her stay in the school, Wolf had been allowed to wear a shirt and pants as her uniform but was suddenly told she had to wear a dress to prom like all the other girls. Her mother called the school about the last-minute change, saying it was unfair, especially since they had already bought a suit for Aniya.

As she had been looking forward to the event, Wolf went anyway, despite the matter with the dress code.

"I think my experience shouldn't be any different than anyone else's because of something I was born with," said Wolf.

But when she got there, a school official accosted her, taking her by the arm and saying that the police will be called on her so Wolf left.

Though she conceded to the dress code set by Bishop McDevitt, Wolf still countered that she was actually dressed modestly compared to what a lot of the other girls were wearing during prom night.

Wolf has never had a problem with discrimination because the other students made her feel accepted but how the school officials treated her is a different thing altogether.

After her story made the news, Wolf has received a lot of support, including an offer to guest in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia from Rob McElhenney, the show's co-creator and star. She's very much on-board with the idea, saying she'd love to help out in the FX Networks series.

Additionally, Breakthrough U.S. has reached out to her,telling Wolf the human rights organization would love for the student to be part of their initiative, The G Word.
