Students Sent Home After Gay T-Shirt Protest

http://www.365gay.com/newscon04/12/120104tshirts.htm

A dozen high school students were disciplined Wednesday after wearing homemade gay-pride T-shirts to school in support of a gay student who is suing the school district for wearing a similar shirt.

The Webb City High School students were given the option of either removing the T-shirts or going home. Seven students walked out while the remainder took off the shirts and remained in class.

"It was their choice," said school superintendent Ron Lankford. "I think our administrators handled it correctly."

more red state bullshit

3. Secession

Time for the Northeast, West, and Hawaii to make our own country. Too much gay haters in that blood red mess we call the jesus belt. Fuck the south and everything they stand for.

8. No way, we need to take them over.

We won over the segregationists (somewhat, anyway), and we can win this one too. Slowly, the culture will change even in the south.

6. Total bullshit.

Anti-gay tee-shirts and bumperstickers are common but the princi-putz was concerned that these tee shirts might offend someone. Idiot.
