(CNN) —High school boys wearing dresses strike a pose with big smiles on their faces. They know they're breaking school rules, but they hope their gender-defying outfits will spark change.

Students at Buchanan High School in Fresno, California, switched gender norms for a day in January following the Clovis Unified School Board's decision not to revise a decades-old dress code that may violate state gender-rights law. Trustees voted against recommendations to allow boys to have long hair and earrings. The trustees also refused to remove language in the code that says that dresses and skirts are for girls.

Very cool how many students are getting involved in changing rules based on society's changing norms.
