Good afternoon! Hundreds of students in Osakis, Minn. signed a petition objecting to a plan requiring girls to submit photos of their dresses to be approved for prom. School officials now say they're simply suggesting girls submit a photo of their prom dresses in advance, and that it's not a requirement. In other dress code news, in Pelham, N.H., a young man with autism, Max Bedard, was denied entry to the school's semi-formal dance because he wore a sweatshirt and sweatpants. Students have rallied around him. On Monday they wore sweatshirts to school, declaring it "#MaxItMonday". | NewsCut | Forecast
