The boy’s mom says school officials told her “It is not okay for boys to dress like girls or girls to dress like boys.”
Austin Lacey, a 13-year-old student in Menifee, California, recently dressed up as Elsa from Frozen for his middle school's "Disney Day."
"I wore it for fun because I'm just one of those people, I like to go all out," Lacey told KTLA.
His classmates loved the costume and asked to take selfies with him.
But school officials were not fans.
"Before school started, he was approached by the campus supervisor who instructed him to remove his wig and dress immediately, and turn it over as it was being confiscated per the desire of the school principal," Lacey's mother, Brooke Francev, wrote in a Facebook post. "He was informed the principal does not agree with boys dressing like girls."

BuzzFeed has contacted the school and Francev for comment, but on Facebook she said she met with the principal, who allegedly told her he confiscated the costume as it was a "distraction" and even "dangerous."
