    If that is the case... then shame on them for not making a stand for their students. That does not make them any less discriminatory. I am a teacher and this would never occur in my high school. Location is not an excuse for discrimination.

    Dear Oompa_Loompa, just make sure when/if you write to that principal, you use a word editor and spell check.

    :laugh:

    Errrrm. I think by "principal" you must mean "principle." Good old-fashioned irony.

    Just imagine all the mental turmoil this has created for the two ladies and their families. It's difficult to think about and rationalize the wrong teachings in this outcome. I do hope both families press charges.

    Wow. RIDICULOUS. I teach at a pretty conservative high school, and I can't even see that happening there. It seems like there either has to be more to it than just what the article states, or that school just doesn't want to fight about it and just canceled to avoid everything. Either way, that's insanely stupid.

    It's "principal," if everyone's going to get picky about it.

    Only a few states allow Gay marriage. BUT in ALL states gay couples by law are allowed to adopt children. Go figure!

    LOL, actually I misunderstood the meaning!
    It is principal.

    I was thinking the person meant something meaning "if you're going to write to that point." Not physically writing to the principal of the school. Nevermind.

    Good old fashioned lack of reading comprehension.

    seriously stupid, close-minded and insignificant. what does the principal hope to teach from this??? intolerance?? maybe things are SO good at his school (not) that this is all he has to focus on.

    Actually, "when/if you write to that principle" would be a sentence that made sense here and is what I thought the poster meant on first read. Double meanings and what not.

    Have you read the other news article in relation to that? A school has excluded a photo of a girl in a tux? C'mon people? What happen to freedoms of America? Are they REALLY HURTING ANYONE?

    I think that it's amazing that with all the violence in our country, and in the midst of two wars and a tanked economy, we have so many "deeply concerned" adults stressing out over homosexuality.

    Here's the question I always ask "So you believe that if you were exposed to the homosexual lifestyle through personal experience, literature or pornography, you would be so enthralled you would then chose to become a homosexual yourself? Seriously? Because if that's all it takes to change your sexual orientation you are already, at a minimum, bi-sexual"

    Change can't occur without some controversy, so hopefully the end result will be a positive one. Good for Constance for being who she is and having the courage to challenge the policy.

    Not just violence in our country, but in our schools. How often do we hear that school shootings and violence was an act of a lonely kid? An outcast? And we do THIS? This girl is happy. She wants to share with her friends and girl friend. Why do we have to take that away from her? Or any kids for that matter?
