Court Rules Private Schools can Expel Students for Acting Gay
The Fourth District Court of Appeals in Riverside, California ruled that California Lutheran High School had the right to expel students based on their perceived sexual orientation.
Two girls were expelled during their junior year of high school for “conducting themselves in a manner consistent with being lesbians”, an incredibly ambiguous statement. Did they wear too much plaid? Drive U-hauls to school? Or were they just cheerleaders?
The investigation began when another student told a teacher that one of the girls listed her sexual orientation as bisexual on her MySpace page. The other girl listed “Not Sure”. Even worse, there was a photograph of the girls hugging.
“[The principal] just looked at me like I was a disease and I was so wrong,” said one of the girls, whose names were kept anonymous. “He got very close to me and he said, ‘Have you ever touched [the other girl] in . . . any inappropriate ways? And he looked me up and down when he asked that,” reports the LA Times.
The lawyer for the girls intends to take the court to the California Supreme Court.
Man, high school sucks. As shitty as this is, it’s probably in the girls’ best interests that they got out before being completely brainwashed.
