Principal’s outing of gay student roils Fla. town: Many in conservative Panhandle community wonder what man did wrong
When a high school senior told her principal that students were taunting her for being a lesbian, he told her homosexuality is wrong, outed her to her parents and ordered her to stay away from children.
He suspended some of her friends who expressed their outrage by wearing gay pride T-shirts and buttons at Ponce de Leon High School, according to court records. And he asked dozens of students whether they were gay or associated with gay students.
Several students rallied around the girl, causing the principal to allegedly go on a 'witch hunt' to ferret out more gays in the school. Needless to say, the ACLU got involved, the principal was demoted, and yes, staff had to go to sensitivity training.
