Coming out is a personal and sensitive thing - and only the individual can decide on when the time is right for them to come forward.</p> <p>What Principal Beasley did was out of line and out of her jurisdiction. Because she took matters into her own hands with out consulting the students their parents, the board, the school attorneys - she has now put these students in possible danger not only from verbal and emotional assault that they have already encountered but also the possibility of physical assault similar to that of Lawrence King.</p> <p>Reference for further education: <a href="http://www.gayamericanheroes.com" title="www.gayamericanheroes.com">www.gayamericanheroes.com</a> </p> <p>Robb Colleluori<br /> A Bear's Life Magazine</p> Mon, 12 May 2008 14:00:07 -0700 comment 14409 at http://www.proudparenting.com http://www.proudparenting.com/node/1590 <p><strong>High school principal outs gay students. Memphis educator went well beyond her role</strong></p> <p>The ACLU is defending two gay students who were outed by their high school principal. The principal wanted to know the names of students who were couples - heterosexual and homosexual - because she was concerned about public displays of affection.</p> <p>She posted the entire list of students in public, which effectively outed two boys who were attempting to keep their sexuality private. Student relationships were revealed to other students, teachers and their parents.</p> <p><a href="http://www.proudparenting.com/node/1590">read more</a></p> http://www.proudparenting.com/node/1590#comments Advice &amp; Education high school Tennessee Editor&#039;s Pick Mon, 05 May 2008 07:47:15 -0700 Jeff 1590 at http://www.proudparenting.com
