Kentucky Equality Federation has received reports that Franklin County High School Assistant Principal Karen Buzard allegedly sent an email to teachers instructing them not to allow homosexuals to leave class to use the restroom.

The email was allegedly sent after two female classmates where caught kissing in the public restroom.

In response, 15 students protested outside the school today.

My daughter was involved in a protest at Franklin County High School today for their right to use restroom," stated Michelle Sexton.

"I have been in contact with one of the parents of the children involved in the protest, and we support and encourage their constitutional right to assemble peacefully," stated Kentucky Equality Federation President Jordan Palmer. "We call on the media to investigate this issue further and shed light on the discrimination gays and lesbians face throughout the Commonwealth. Kentucky Equality Federation will also be contacting the other parents of the children involved in today's protest."

Though Superintendent Harrie Buecker stated steps are being taken to address the students' concerns, Kentucky Equality Federation is concerned they will not be addressed properly. Though not directly connected, Kentucky Equality Federation has received similar complaints in Casey, Pulaski, and Powell counties about unfair treatment of gay and lesbian students and teachers.....

8. I remember when I went to a public high school,

there were all these rumors that lesbians were making out in the Restrooms. I don't know if school was worried about that, but at one time there was an adult attendant at a desk outside the restroom and you had to sign in and out. Did anyone else had to do this? At least the gay and lesbian students weren't singled out, but I still think it was a stupid idea.
